PFC and boost controller on route. Also going to pop a restrictor ring in the midpipe

OK!


FINALLY GOT IT SORTED!!!! I replaced the leading coil, when I did, I noticed one of the insides of the coils was all corroded giving me a nice misfire... Got the new coil in at it ran WAY better! Still not 100%, got the PFC installed and a small restrictor ring in the exhaust and she drives like a new car now...

Looks like it turned out to be a combination of alot of things:
- Bad emissions stuff (ACV leaking) DELETED ACV/Airpump
- Bad PCV. Deleted and installed catch can instead.
- Overboosting. placed restrictor in free flowing exhaust
- Bad grounds. Cleaned up grounds and installed PFC w/base map
- Misfire. Replaced leading coil pack

You were most likely running in limp mode for a good reason.

Most importantly be sure your OMP is working properly etc.....

The PFC will allow your car to run no matter what the issue or issues causing limp mode may be. If it's the OMP your car won't run for long.

I already premix ontop of the OMP just to be sure... Protek R from pettit racing.

Whats the easiest way to ensure the OMP is working correctly?

I have no check engine codes or anything so I suspect the OMP is fine, hoses may need replacing. Just need to narrow down exactly where the leaks coming from...
