Start off by giving us a list of your mods.

You claim to make that much power but you have no way to to monitor things? no interceptor? no OBD2 reader?

Haha you lost me with that post. You dont have a scan guage or an OBD2 reader? It you get a REP message the ECU will store a code. If you dont have a way to check it, scan gauge/reader, take it to Autozone they will check it and tell you the code for free.

are you sure you dont have the M62 or did you really do a swap and get the M90 to fit on the balt bc there have been a few guys here who have tried it and they have all failed. iff you have the M62 you can run a 2.5 but i hope you have some major cooling mods and an awsome tune otherwise your engine could go very soon. but you do have pistons so you might be ok
im pretty sure reduced power mode comes on to protect the engine from blowing it self up

EDIT: so you really did the m90 swap you should post up some pics cuz i know ppl would love to see it what kinda boost are you hitting. i only know the basics w/ these cars so i cant be too much help but good luck i hope you get it fixed

Yep. Tell them your check engine light is on and you would like them to check the code for you.
