Default Thank god for boost cut.

My car wouldn't rev above 5 thousand rpms, it would just stop like a rev limiter. Thought that was wierd. Did it again, and noticed my boost guage flying past 20 psi, then the rev limiter kicked in. My car was tuned at 15 psi.

Popped the hood. Noticed the hose that connects to the vacuum source on the turbo, to my MBC had popped off the turbo. Put it back and all is well. But if it hadn't been for boost cut, I'd be pretty pissed of right now.

Running Neptune BTW, I know hondata has this feature too.

Yep, thank god indeed. I melted an engine a few years back from something that simple and there was no management offered on the car I had at the time.
