When it goes into limp mode no codes are thrown then? There should be something.

Are all sensors plugged in? Mine did exactly this after I had worked on it and forgot to plug in the sensor on top of my SC (I know you have a TC). Have you done any recent work to it? Try reseating the sensors.

Anyone else have any input? Could it be a bad plug? My first thought is a misfire cause its does sputter like it could be. But its only in 2nd gear. I did third and fourth gear pulls today and they were all fine through the whole gear

If it was misfiring bad enough to go into limp mode the SES light would of been flashing I would think.
No codes?

I had a code couple days before for maf sensor and figured it was cause I cleaned my k&n with the recharge kit. Other then that haven't had a code thrown

Scan your computer and tell me if it stored P0236. Mine did and it didnt throw a CEL. It was a bad lower MAP sensor. $16 fix bro

I had the same problem. It would build boost and then backfire and go into limp mode

I've replaced my spark plugs and my lower map sensor yet still having the problem but mainly when I turn my tune on well everytime I use the tune it does it. Question im now asking is do the tunes start to act up? I haven't had it retuned since before I for full exhaust and a intercooler. Is it possible that those cause my tune to do what its doing?

Supercharger inlet sensor is more than likely the culprit
