Make sure you have the most current version of Durametric. You should be able to datalog more than 2 variables at once.

Thumbs up

**Update**
I spent around an hour or so testing the car back and forth 2nd , 3rd ,4th gear...
After my second run after a cold start i experianced the problem once in 2nd and twice in 3rd...

After that i spent more than an hour running the car back and forth 2-3-4th gear back and forth!! and the problem dissappeard .. I did datalog the car and have seen nothing abnormal...
My conclusion might be .. since ive been running the car for quite a bit with the cracked exhaust manifolds the ecu got adapted to running the car with the cracked headers?? I.e running very rich , working the turbins harder etc...
Then when i installed the new headers it took a while for the ecu to adapt??

Big thanks to all who chimed in trying to help

Not sure I quite follow the reasoning here but hey if that solved the problem then that's great. I would think with cracked headers your car would have felt more laggy than it does now?

The headers are supplied by cargraphic with RS tuning lengths and specs etc , I beleive cargrapgic have 2 types of headers a normal and a racing version , My new headers that they supplied under warranty are much more thick and have a cleaner finnish than the old ones..

My car saw almost 2000 track miles within less than a year , and a 15,000km road trip this summer blasting through the autobahn at very high speeds..

i suppose they gave up at that point

Yeah its very strange , yes the car was a little more laggy with the cracked headers and felt that it had a limiter of some sort before hitting full boost..

Yeah cargrapgic headers quality are not that good , but the new ones they sent looked much better than the old ones and are thicker..

Exactly.

RS Tuning ≠ Cargraphic

**Update**

went to the track today , the problem was not there when driving towards the track...
but after one lap the problem returned , I noticed that the problem happens 99% of the time when the turbos are spooling to reach full boost... them suddenly the car stop boosting , maximim boost was .3 bar the car was running like its on 1 cyclinders.. i drove the car for 3 or 4 laps to see if the problem is consistant and yes max was .3 bar

I turned the car off , then when driving back home the problem is gone!!!! the boost was normal for a bit , then it went back to the same problem that i experianced at first , at around 3500-4000 rpm the car feels like its on limp mode then runs fine @1.4 bar till redline..

I checked for fault codes and it turned out P3402 Turbo charger overboost condition upper limit value exceeded....


What would the fault code be hinting??

I got the new Durametric and will datalog the car as soon as i can..

any thoughts ???

Are you sure it's not an actuator issue? See attached notice.
