Default CEL, cars gone into failsafe mode.

Hello, My fault happened yesterday during a 3rd gear overtake. Not to hard, only going from 40mph upto 60mph. During the overtake the car completly cut out on me and I coasted to the side of the road. Car started ok but has now got a check engine light on and is running quite rough, all pointing to the failsafe mode, revs and boost cut etc. I have disconnected the battery overnight and I've reconnected it but fault is still there. Knocklink is showing no activity while driving so could be a good sign.

My car is a MY00 UK car with a full de-cat and TEK 2.5 ECU fitted, this has been on the car for over a year and 15,000 miles with no problems. What I would like to know if anybody can tell me the website address that I found on here a while back that showed you how to interogate your ECU by connecting to plugs under the dash and counting the flashes from the CEL. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Jamie

Can't remember the exact address, but believe it was something like saxonfields. Use the search facility, it'll come up

Tried that website but he's explaining the 97 car. Did attempt the ECU diagnostic anyway and I'm getting wastegate solenoid code 44 and 23 MAF sensor. Thanks
