JCW + Racechip + 2K miles = P12a4 :(
Hi guys,
So I have a JCW working fine with the racechip ultimate, for 2K miles, roughly.
I just saw a check engine light coming, after a stall I think (It's a manual).
The code is P12a4.
I feel the car is less powerful than before.
I thought I could remove it with my OBD wifi and iphone app (dashcommand and four stroke).
Turns out, I can't.
What do you think?
Do you know to what this code is linked?
Only solution = Dealer?
Any experience from someone with this code?
Thanks a lot.

So today I’ve disconnected everything, started the car and no CEL on the dash. Checked with the V-link, the code is stored and I cannot clear it.
so I put back the racechip, again no CEL.
but...
I feel the car slower than before, longer to build boost.
I’ve measured with the OBD the boost pressure, I read 13PSI @WOT in 3rd gear.
I’m not sure but am I not supposed to be more in the 16-18PSI range?
any ideas / suggestions before I drop the car to the dealer?
thanks
