after fitting a boost gauge my my93 wrx hits a brick wall at 4500rpm and it doesnt matter now fast or slow you rev it or what gear im in i took the gauge of and it still does it,the engine check light is on aswell, i have a few small mods(exaust air fillter dump valve)but it was fine untill today,the only other thing i did today was to de limit it and i havnt put the speedo cable back yet would this cause it?.ive checked all the pipes to make sure i didnt disturb anything but it all looks ok, ive noticed a whirrling noise from the k&n but im not sure if it was there before or im just hearing thing now somthings wrong, any help/advice would be very welcome.many thanks,darren

Daz,

I responded in General - you have a sensor fault somewhere - did you pull a wire out by accident? Or use one of the ECU power supplies when you fitted your Boost Guage.

Your car has gone into SAFE MODE.
