i like too much high rpm
my car is AT. When i press full gas, after change gear, halk engine light come on!

i said them " dont replace anything without inform me, especially chack the vanos solenoids "

and i learnd another thing from philip;

Mine was a small plastic nipple on a hose that connects to my wastegate, it was cracked and so the monitored boost didn't match up to the expected boost and it shut off the turbos to prevent any problems.

The replacement metal part was less than 2 dollars and took about an hour to diagnose and replace.

I don't think the HPFP problem is as prevalent nowadays, simply small vacuum leaks.
