A quick OBD 2 code clear and I was away and haven't touch wood had another since then 4000km ago. The code reads as low turbocharger/supercharger boost (underboost).
These limpies seem only to occur at constant light throttle openings so maybe there is some merit in "driving like you stole it"!

thanks to Brendan at Ultimate who allowed me to call in on my way south and take it out using their tools.
always happened on very light or even backing off on light throttle.

Snowman, you need to try one of our chips
For those that have a Chip from us, we now have new tunes for EGR Blanking Mod and these seem to be stopping even the fussy vehicles. For those that wish to try these, email justin@chipit.com.au the tune you are now running with and explain what you want (so he know what you what) and he will redo the numbers and email you back the new tune.
Donations kindly appreciated

Will reload the F2 custom tune written for me the other day - didn't have any probs with that!
Would be interesting to work out why some bring up the CEL with an EGR/6mm hole and some don't.
It is definitely linked to period of idle / low revs though in my case too!

Had the 6mm hole for a week now in mine - no sign of a limpy despite trying hard and subjectively the car feels the same as it did before so seems to be a winner to me.

Somehow I dont think it will be a simple exercise. Just go with the plate with a 6mm hole and a catch can.
If only I had the bloody time.....
Longranger1 wrote:So.... With a minimal MAP voltage setting the ecu into limp mode with the egr blocked, maybe a minimal voltage feed to just above threshold values to the MAP sensor output, dioded to prevent interference from voltage back flow when the MAP voltage increases will do the trick. Maybe a bit of electrical wizardry can overcome the problem without affecting normal operating parameters .
Now to map out the circuitry, design a voltage reg system to trick the ecu via the MAP sensor, off to jaycar to get some bits and we are away .

Firstly i am emailing CCM (Chris) to see of the tune can be changed to leave it closed.If there is no love there then yes i may as well drill the hole as the plate is no good to me as it is.
The limpies are always on light throttle so maybe the small hole will be enough. the thing is that it is letting some crap through and some is too much in my opinion. although with the MRT tune it will be only at idle i am told.
Still there is a lot of idle - or off throttle - over the life of the motor.
