My turbos done. Greddy Blue Box FMU is wired up too. But when my car hits 6LBS of boost, it throws a CEL and goes into limp mode. Any ideas why? Has anyone used the blue box and had this problem? Or is it wired up wrong.

I can't help you on the "blue box" problem, but it definitely looks like your air filter could use some oil on it. (it looks bone dry in the pic)

 

yea ill get a new one. Thats the least of my problems at the moment.

 

Not really, because the oil on the air filter helps it do it's job properly.

 

gee whats more important? My air filter being dirty? Or my Blue Box throwing my ECU into Limp mode. This guy Never stops. ANYWAY..........im really all ears for this one fellas.

 

Have you pulled the code to see what CEL you are throwing

 

Actually, your filter won't get dirty since there isn't any filter oil on it to catch the dirt. Your filter is letting dirt through it into your engine.

Gee, whats more important? Stopping dirt from getting into your engine (which you can do without the need of running your engine to test), or running your engine (letting dirt get into it) while troubleshooting?

Who knows.......maybe the Blue Box is throwing your ECU into Limp mode, trying to tell you to FIX THAT FILTER!

 

What do you mean by limp mode? Does it throw the CEL ad then like shut down or what? IS the blue box cutting spark at 6 pounds like a rev limiter? I dont' have any experience with a "blue box." Holla at md240.

How's it pullin up until then?

 

Deep down, I think he knows I'm right.

 

do you have a missing link? that seems to be the fix on most turbo CEL problems.
