Now this has happened twice now.
First time i was in my bedroom and heard someone reving the nuts off a car. Ran down stairs to find my little wanker brother in the passenger seat.
The second time was on my way home from boxing tonight. Being the pro driver that i am a experienced a rather bad gear change from second to third. Changed up wacked my foot down only to realise that it wasn't in gear. Both times positive boost has registered as the dump valve has gone off. After this has occured, the car looses all power and strugles to even move untill the turbo kicks in. When idling, the revs drop to 500rpm and it chucks out a load of black shit out the goose.
Easy remidy, swith it off for about 30 seconds then back on again and hey presto, back to normal. Just wondered what this was.
Is it a bit like how some deisals work, if you over rev them they seem to limit the revs for a while afterwards. :roll:
