Hi All

I have been having an issue with my Bravo where the turbo cuts out completely whilst i'm driving down the road.

Always happens at 80 odd Mph @ around 3000 - 3500 RPM.

The car goes into a sort of limp mode where i'm limited to 3000 Rpm with no boost. No warning light, and the fault code just reads 'Boost pressure'.

Problem is if i turn the engine off and start her up again the turbo comes back to life. its happened a few times and i want to sort it just in case its causing some damage. All i've done so far is check all of my pipes and connections and everything is as it should be.

Has anyone had this problem? or know of a solution??
 
Have you tried unplugging the boost sensor to see if it changes the behaviour? How does the car feel when it's not doing it?
 
I have not tried that yet. I will give it a try and update on here here.

As for when I'm driving it normally it feels restricted. It still shifts pretty quick but I can't help but think it isn't quite right.
