Default connected a MBC in preparation of ECU, FPR, N75, and plugs. now in LIMP mode???
wanted to install MBC before make sure i had NO problems before i sent the ECU out, that way i can control surging. ANYWAY the car is 2001 1.8TQM (DBW).

How do I get the car out of limp mode and back up to the normal boost that i had?

reset the ecu to get out of limp, or clear the codes.

do you just pull the plugs from the ECU to reset?

Default Take the MBC out. I don't understand why you wanted to overboost the engine anyway.
Why a MBC before sending the PCM out? It sounds liike you are trying to solve problems that don't exist.

not trying to overboost just wanted to make sure it was installed correctly before ECU goes out

What do you mean by "in preparation "?? There is no need for a MBC..other than some BT cars.

Default MBC installed correctly means in the garbage can.
Again, why the MBC? What are you trying to accomplish?

Default MBCs are used to control boost spikes that could send the car into limp mode.
Plenty of people with k04s use them in parallel with their n75, especially those with DBW cars and throttle cut.
