So I finally received and got the chance to install the turbo water pump and silicone hoses...the pump is defective right out of the box and I'm still getting the damn reduced power warning. I'm at my wits end with this damn car. Tuner said he could code out the warning but not the computers ability to reduce the power for whatever in the hell it thinks is an issue.

How can such a simplistic warning come up, cause huge reductions in power, yet no CEL and surely no damn quick fix. Searches for this issue leads to a ton of different replies, so I'm thankful for this thread, but I'm just hoping for the day a CONCRETE answer is finally found for something that escapes us and the stealerships.

On a side note, which I'm thinking I shouldn't install yet, but my Aquamist HFS-4 kit is in the mail.
