E53 Cutting Power and Not Giving Boost!
Hey guys,
My E53 is suddenly cutting power to around 200hp (even though I'm revving up to redline) on straight, dry, smooth roads for no reason and I can't figure it out! This isn't from ESP because the traction light doesn't turn on and this issue persists until the engine is restarted. Does anyone know what's going on? I don't want to take my car to the dealer for now so trying to see if anyone has any ideas. When I floor it and go through the gear, it appears there's 0 boost based on the gauge. But can a turbo really contribute more than 200 hp? I got gapped by a 20 year old Jetta the other day! Lol
