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!

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.

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....
