Turn the boost up to 20lbs when the cars tuned for 10lbs. That's what did it for me when I was adjusting my new boost controller.

I assume you are referring to " reduced engine power ".

Do you mean based on an external input?

Disconnect the ETC or TAC circuit. :-)

That should do it, and is easy to try as well... Then just make proper electrical mods.

I feel this is a better option.

That's what I am using ...just needed ideas on what to trigger when the gauge went into Failsafe ....I ending cutting ground to the iat sensor which then makes the car think the outside air is 10degrees and then setup a 10deg timing retard in those areas of the iat retard tables ....that should be enough to save the motor in a lean condition.
