Default All of a sudden, car wont boost?!

Yesterday I went out driving, logging. Came to a stop, made changes to the map and set off again. Now whenever I go into boost the car jerks like mad and feels like spark/fuel has been cut. I have a digital boost gauge and can hold the car at 100kpa fine and it does nothing. Soon as it goes into positive pressure it bucks and goes mad. I tried burning the orignal map back without the changes and it still did it? I have a log which I will post later when Im home from work.

Thanks

Nothing, no boost controller, only the actuator.

Ok for some reason overboost cut off had set itself to 1.5psi?! Reset that and all is dandy. No idea how that changed though.......

Been there...done that...still have a big L on my forehead.


Everyone knows the symptoms...except the guy that can't get into boost.
