Default FRS Boost problem.

Got a bit of a problem, just been out in my car, happily going along making a bar of boost, came off a roundabout in 2nd, changed to 3rd and I have no boost at all, the car is driveable, just, but has absolutely no power.

All the boost hoses are on, none are split, there were no funny noises, bangs or clunks, it just now has no power.

What could be the problem?

sound like your car has gone on to limp mod. Try disconnection the battery for 15mins to reset the ECU..

When you connect the battery leave it running with maybe the lights and the fan on for 10 mins and then take it a run. It will have to learn again...

Fixed it, actuator rod had come off the wastegate, popped it back on and it's making boost again.

Need to get a clip back on it tomorrow though, so it doesn't do it again.
