    MAF problem? Weird situation

    thanks for the responses. I haven’t tuned this car at all. Only thing close to a tune would be a reflash from zzp when I bought a new ECU from donor stages because I thought it contributed to a problem. Would a disconnect MAF hurt the engine at the moment? I might just clean or replace Maf just...

    08 Donor, losing boost on turbo randomly. limp mode. Help

    Sooo since I am boosting around 20-21 psi and stock is said to be 15-17 psi. Maybe I am over boosting and seeing up some warnings? Maybe zzp adjusted the boost when I got purchased an ecu. But it does seem like I would need HPtuners lol Thank you for all the answers you have given me!

    08 Donor, losing boost on turbo randomly. limp mode. Help

    It was stock from I saw and was told. Zzp reflashed a new ecu when I thought the old one had a problem… With the new ecu from zzp. They did add the small tune for first gear and boost. I can’t remember what it does but something along the lines of small ramp up on boost to prevent wheel spin in...
