Hi Chinko, sorry but your explanation is not making any sense in English, My sister is here with me at the moment and she is over from Nerja and speaks and reads fairly good spanish, if you want to make your posting in spanish she will translate for us, and possibly reply in spanish if this helps, Harvey 8)

Hola. Parece que usted tiene alto boost Turbo que hace que el motor entre en el modo seguro por un período corto.
Cuando esto ocurre es el indicador de soplado del turbo en la parte superior, 1 bar?
Ha provisto un diámetro mayor que 2 pulgadas orificio de escape como este es la causa más común?

He utilizado el traductor de google para este mensaje para que perdonen mi gramática.

Hi Rega,

From the translation of your post, I think you have high turbo pressure greater than 0.9 Bar when you boot it which causes the engine to go into safe mode (less power) for a couple of minutes. The normal turbo pressure is 0.65 Bar.
To check this, the next time you boot it, look at the turbo pressure gauge and see if the needle reaches the top when you loose power.
The common cause is a none standard exhaust pipe larger than 2 inches diameter.
To fix this you can fit a standard size exhaust pipe or by porting the turbo waste gate:- http://wikilec.9600.org/index.php/Porting_the_wastegate
and fit a mountain chip.

I hope this helps

Regards,
Denny.

Hola Rega,

A partir de la traducción de su post, creo que usted tiene la presión alta turbo superior a 0,9 bar, cuando se arranca el motor que hace que entrar en modo seguro (menos potencia) durante un par de minutos. La presión de turbo normal es 0,65 bar.
Para comprobar esto, la próxima vez que arranque, mira el indicador de presión del turbo y ver si la aguja llega a la cima cuando se enciende suelto.
La causa común es un tubo de escape de serie no más de 2 pulgadas de diámetro.
Para solucionar este problema, puede instalar un tubo de escape estándar o tamaño por portar la válvula de descarga turbo: -

y colocar un chip de montaña.

Espero que esto ayude

Saludos,
Denny.
