Hi there, I recently bought an MY03 B4 with the only performance mod being an ECUtek tune. I've noticed a couple of times over the last month that the dash lights and stereo would turn off and on for a split second, which was mildly concerning at the time. However on my last trip down the highway it did it more severely, ficked on and off several times, reset my trip meter and clock, and I could feel a loss of power when it flicked off, then the abs or airbag light would come on for a few seconds. After that I realised my immobiliser wasn't working, and then much to my distress the second turbo wasn't kicking in. When revving out a gear I would get 15psi on the boost gauge and then it would drop off and the engine would rev out faster. Going up a hill I'd get to about 4.2k rpm and that's all I could get out of it.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or heard of this, I'm assuming the electrical issue has something to do with the immobiliser, but would it affect the 2nd turbo or is that just an unfortunate coincidence?
I'd appreciate any advice on this issue, before I take it to a mechanic/auto electrician.
Cheers
