Went to Whistler Monday night and climbing a hill my turbo boost went up to
30. First time that has happened since I opened this post. Then about an hour
later is was down to 26 and coming home last night the highest it got was 26.
OAT (outside air temperature) and elevation can effect the boost. You should be at full throttle for a few seconds.

The temperature was the same and elevation wasn't much different. There is a lot
of up and down going to Whistler and When I noticed the boost not going above
26 I was still way under 1,000 ft. Whistler base is just over 2,000 ft.

Oldguy,
It's a long shot but have you verified that you are getting full travel out of the throttle mechanism?

On a older coach (SOB) I actually found that I was put into a semi-limp mode by the throttle controller (not full throttle) because it monitored the brake light circuit for cruise control purposes and I had a bulb out.

Some times it can be something completely out of left field.

From your description of the symptoms it sound like it drives good on the flat? just an issue on a climb?

Good Luck,
Doug

I have had that problem when I had the King Control in the Monaco Dynasty I had
also. This is not limp mode, just lost a few ponies. I had limp mode on my last trip
home but I think that has to do with a oil pressure sensor which I'm going out to
check on soon.
