Default could do with a bit of advise please

using my car over the weekend its been ok, but yesturday i took it out for a bit of fun, its a 06 wrx 2.5 with full stainless, de cat, and ecutek remap, only had it since wednesday.
there was a nice straight bit of road near me and i thought i would give it a few beans, 3rd floored it, hit 4000 revs and it was like i hit a brick wall, engine managment light on but runs ok, it goes in saturday for diagnostic check, any ideas of what it might be
cheers steve

You've hit boost/fuel cut, could be any number of reasons

As it is EcuTek'd i would be seeking the advice of the mapper, any idea who did it??

That would make sense yeah.

Your problem could be anything though, from a simple split or popped hose to any thing else. Best option is have a look round the engine bay see if you can find/see anything amiss, if not just leave it to the diagnostics and see what they turn up

I wouldn't advise driving her with the CEL on

If you was low on fuel & floored it then you can get get fuel cut.
