P0299 - Turbocharger Underboost!

anyone thrown this code?

I had this code on my way home this afternoon. I don't know what caused it. Not really pushing it when the code came up.

Went home and cleared it with my hptuner. Hopefully it wont come back :D

EDIT: It's UNDERBOOST, and not overboost, sorry...I can't edit the title

From what I recall, people with larger turbos have experienced this code. BTF I know has experienced it, or I seem to recall a post about it.

Basically the ECU wanted a desired boost, and the turbo was unable to produce it at a given RPM.

yep - a leak sounds like the most obvious and most easily remedied - just guessing

i assume you checked for something loose- tried tightening the above :lol: ... its too cold here for me to wanna do a thorough under hood check.... and i'd be embarrassed to let the yanks know what i consider cold ...:lol:
