I don't know if it's just in my head but my car really feels much slower than before when i got Procede installed. My car went into limp mode about a month ago and I guess ever since after that, my car feels like it's in stock mode. Is this possible? should i reload the v1.47 map just to be safe?

Or load 2.02... That should fix the problem.

What are you going to do if he actually does and his car blows up?

[dxb335d]

how do you ''re-load'' the map? you mean un-wire it and re-wire it?!

also stressdoc, 2.02 you mean V2? sorry but i aint up to date with all this stuff lol

I would disconnect your battery for about an hour then go for a drive and tell us what you think.

[stressdoc]

Sorry about being cryptic, I was trying to be funny about V2.02 solving the slowness problem. Not a helpful post. I think wakeboarder has the right idea, if it's the ECU programming, then wipe it clean and start over. It seems possible that the ECU could adapt to stop and go BS traffic driving, so after you reset the ECU, drive it hard after it is warmed up and you make sure that everything is working OK. Surely Vishnu has a FAQ on this topic?

The mapping in the PROcede should never change on its own. Have you checked your boost with a boost gauge? If the car feels slow, you could have a boost leak. We just had a customer who's BOV popped out, because it wasn't locked in from the factory. If the car feels slow all of the sudden, it is going to be something mechanical 99.9% of the time.

+1. My car has been feeling slower over the past month and cant figure it out. With my boost gauge, Im noticing I hardly get in the mid 12's anymore whereas I used to hit as high as 13.7lbs. I should recheck my BOV piping but Im pretty sure I dont have any leakage. Ill keep updating as to what I find.

keep us all posted, i am interested on what the cause was!! If yu remove the BOV and fit a decent filter will the car chatter??

Chatter? I have the ITG filter in there.

what if I dont' have a boost gauge?

[tizzletom]

I don't have a boost guage either. If I have this problem in the future I want to know how to fix it as well.

[Dustin Bramell]

Borrow one from someone. A boost gauge is a good thing to have when you are modifying turbocharged cars, even if you only hook it up every once in awhile to confirm everything is working properly.

You can also read your boost level on the PROcede software.

Hey Shiv/Dustin I know this has been covered, but what value should we be logging in the Procede reader to monitor boost? If we log this parameter for lets say 1-2 minutes, I am assuming we can upload the results here to confirm the boosts are within level and not under correct?

In addition, if there is a leak in the lines, would the vehicle alert us via any CEL's etc. or is it strictly visual / lack of speed etc.?

[Serjames]

Actually I had this happen to me today, started car, drove to shops for sandwich and found it very sluggish ?

Parked up, turned off restarted and back to Procede city ?

Very wierd ! No codes or anything !

mines feeling slower also funnny to see someone post this I thought it was just in my head. I don't get that surge of power strangely its actually smoother with less juice I'm gonna try the 1 hour batt reset than drive around than I might reload 1.47 but I was gonna wait for V2 but who knows when that will arrive

[HyperM3]

So all day yesterday I was trying to push it. The highest readings I got were 11.2lbs. And that was consistant. Im down 2+lbs of boost and I dont know why. FWIW Im still on v1.45. I didnt want to go to 1.47 because Ive never had a problem with limp mods. Why change what works right?

Im going to try unhooking my battery tonight and see if that helps.

[marcvtec]

I did the battery reset car feels fast again
hooray

[HyperM3]

So I left my battery unhooked for 90 mins this morning. First drive out hit 13.7's again on the boost gauge. Go figure.

Since Im not the only one that has felt this loss of power and can now definitively say by the use of the boost gauge it was not in the mind, do you think there is a problem with ECU adaptation to the PROcede?(Yes, I know that was a run-on sentence)

[marcvtec]

I agree my car is fast again
