I'm going to have a local shop adjust the wastegates with a pressure gauge. Can this be done easily without removing the turbos and/or wastegates?

sorry if this is an easy question, but I was wondering if the car goes into "Limp Mode" and if we do not reset the battery, would it reset itself sooner or later?.. or will it run in Limp Mode until you reset the battery?..

I took it to a local shop today and the problem was definitely with the wastegates. I took the advice of some 6speed members and had the mechanic pressure test it and calibrate them to start opening around 12psi. I'm now getting steady 1.1-1.2 bar with no limp mode. Car is running strong and all is well. Just in time for the weekend!

Thank you 6speed!

when the car is in limp mode, what type of boost will you get?.. 0.5-0.7 max?.. will it hit 1.0bar at all when in limp mode?

this is exactly what I mentioned in the last thread about this mod. at this point there isn't any gain if you have to crank down to 1.1 - 1.2, you can adjust the stocker up to 1.1 - 1.2. oh yeah. mad power.
