After recently installing the N75J valve, I am extreemly happy with it. I have finially realised what limp mode is after experiencing this since the new valve.
Basically I seem to hit limp mode when the car is not fully warmed up, I'm in 6th doing between 70-80 and I need to accelerate. Bang, I hit limp mode. Then after a few mins it seems to clear it self and boost again. Usually hit it once on my journey to work in the morning.
Anyways, I guess that hitting limp mode is some kind of safety feature to stop the turbo exploding when overboosting!
I had a quick search on the tinternet and found this interesting link.

Basically it is a method of restricting the boost to a max level.
Has any one tried this mod on their S3?
Cheers, Greg
