i just had the reduced power engine malfunction message come up when i wound my truck up in first gear and it wasnt in M mode and i was 500miles from home, and it was a sunday got to my destination,ate breakfast and got back in my truck heart broken and it wasnt on anymore,then it came back on next morning turned it off again and it was gone...drove 500 miles home with no issues and took it to my guy to have it checked out anyway so he did a "smoke test" and i guess what it is,is that the stock vcuum for the turbos can be prone to minor leaking therefore affecting the pressure in one or both of the turbos and that can trigger the sensor. although supposedly the leakage is minimal and its not an issue with all trucks there is an upgraded system due to this fact. so i ordered it and itll be here next week. and btw the "check engine light" has not been back on since, but they still recommended having it upgraded.
