First Boost Run
Finally after many months of waiting I have experienced boost via an ECS Paxton. Sweet. The only thing that kinda spoilt the fun was the car going into reduced power mode with Service Active Handling come on. First time I forgot the traction control on. Next time though I have no idea why it came on since the trac control was off ? . Second time I went up to 230 ish kph ( very fast I might add ) . The reduced power mode stayed on and didn't go off despite me turning the ignition off then on ( this got rid of it the first time ) . Also note that rpms would stick up at 2kish ( Is it the TB is stuck /open ? ) . So finally I remembered to clear codes . PCM Code 0068 I think ? or 0096/8 not sure.. But after I cleared it car ran normally. Didn't floor it again though after that. Codes didn't re
-appear as well. I did give it some boost sub 5 psi but it was ok. The second time boost was in the 6 to 7 region.
Any ideas ?

I just called them . Turns out there is an issue with the tune . Thing is I am running in SD mode. Maf FQ set to NIL. Codes 102 / 103 Set to No MIL. They will tell me what tables I need to change in Hp Tuners.

I had the same problem when I first switched to an SD tune. I'm not familiar with the HPTuners suite but it looks like you've found the right table. In EFILive the table is called ECT Predicted Airflow {C6101} and it plots airflow in mg/cyl on a grid of Throttle Opening% vs. RPM. I was told to scale the whole table by 200-300% which eliminated the P1514/reduced power problem for me.
