You can log with mhd and jb4.

Wait your running rb turbos with no tune!?

That's my bad. I saw that you had aftermarket turbos and assumed you had a tune. Regardless, the MHD N54 Android app is what I use, and you can also use it even if you don't use their tunes. The app is free and allows you to use your phone to read codes and clear them, but the monitor module add-on is what you need to take logs and it costs $69. It's a very simple and intuitive process. The other 2 things you'll need are a K+DCAN OBD2 cable and a USB OTG adapter. Here are a couple links to the cheap ones that are working just fine for me:

I bought the car with JB4 and the car had massive limp mode after limp mode. Finally fixed it after DME was replaced and the car has been trouble-free for several years until now. But I'd already removed the JB4 while troubleshooting the limp mode and I'm hesitant to install it back. But now looks like I have no choice, at least just to grab the logs.

RB Turbos for years without a tune... that is sketchalicious.

Definitely need to get that log. And a proper tune. $400 well spent and it'll double your wheel horsepower.

Also, if you're going to throw free parts at your car, I would start with the high-pressure sensor. two years old is not "new"

wait are you running stock catted downpipes too?

Yeah, the free parts are coming in tomorrow from FCPEURO lifetime warranty program - HPFP and the two sensors. I bought the LPFP just in case. The LPFP has unlimited return period as long as it's not been installed. The car still has the original one. Fortunately the labor is all mine in this endeavor.

Update:

Replaced the HPFP and look what I found! Good Lord! The shaft on the pump that interfaces with the engine was completely broken off. So for sure it was the HPFP the was causing the issue. You can see the difference on what a new pump looks like. This now leaves a big question - is this a normal failure point? What could have caused this? Is there a bigger problem lurking in the woods? How does that part get driven?

Hope your issues are resolved now. If the car runs fine do a proper log and post it,

Your never going to properly enjoy the car if your paranoid about something going wrong. You can deal with it if it happens.

Now you need a custom tune, your missing out on a significant amount of power/drivability improvements by running RB's without a tune.
