Well how much PSI you are running is kind of important. The stock MAP sensor can only read up to like 11 PSI.

My turbo'd 2002 civic is doing the exact same thing right now. i'm only running 8 PSI. I have no check engine lights though. But at higher speeds and higer RPMS my car limps and pulls power. If you figure out what the problem is, please please let me know.
