Default OK, "loss of power" and EPC comes on...

I restarted and all was fine (although I have noticed a loss of power somewhat lately)... Is this a tell tale sign of a bad MAF or is this the coil packs issue?

Sorry if I'm not describing this issue well...

TIA!

Default It sounds like you are hitting a hard limp condition...

Have you had any issues with boost over spikes?

Default Sorry...

When the turbo exceeds the maximum boost reading set within the ECU. The ECU goes into a protection mode (hard limp) to prevent damage to the engine.
You reset the condition by turning of the engine and re-starting.

Default Gotcha. Nope, this is the first time... I have noticed a hesitation>>>

in 2nd gear for example - doesn't seem to "kick in" as quickly as when I first got the GIAC flash...

I'm guessing it's a bad MAF....
