    Alright so basically on your intercooler you have a pressure sensor which is set to 16psi so when the turbo spools up and creates pressure if it goes past 16psi it limits power which explains the sudden power loss. and the way to take the ecm out of limp mode you realease throttle and engage it again.

    it wont set off any lights
    So in summary limp mode is designed to stop the engine doing damage to itself in the form of over pressuring and blowing gaskets and such other. Ive noticed a lot of the earlier patrol if people keep their foot on the accelerator in limp mode the temps do go up but then drop after throttle released. temps go up due to slight over fueling
    Currently own a ZD30 2000 GU patrol with a dead injector pump about to start a build on a TD42 motor to go in the car and basically rebuild the whole car into a machine of a rig
