Quick Question After Rad Pipe Split!
Ok, so, on my way back from london yesterday, i noticed steam bellowing out as i typically just left services and was at the next roundabout. Anyway, turns out the Rad Top Hose had split!! i was only 20 mins away from home so i stopped, added loads water, got halfway, stopped at next garage...more water.... got home ...temp gauge maxed at 103 just as i got home (average is 84 - 92 norm) now, as i pulled into my drive there was a nice high pitch continuous beep (this could of been either my defi gauges as the oil temp was around (my chosen) warn level, or cudda been an ecu alarm??? (apexi + FC hand).
Anyway, fitted new rad pipe, "burped" the system so to speak, got a good 7 litres of water in it, pretty sure no air locks, BUT my problem is this, i now cant get over 1.0 bar boost with out it cutting :-s ... i dont know if its overboost / fuel cut (FCD yet to be fitted lol)
Im wondering if the ecu or something went into some kinda "safe" mode and restricted my boost??
I have been running (with an AVC-R) at B (middle) 1.10 bar, A (highest) 1.30 with adjusted duty % to hit 1.5 only previous issues ive had is fuel cut if i didnt let car get hot enuf 1st.
Any ideas??
Is there something i can reset & if so, how? (eg clear error codes?)
Many thanks in advance!

ps, just to say, ive been driving it round town for like an hour lol and water & oil temp = all gd no problems / water loss etc etc....just wont boost right.
