Default CEL hassle

Ive got a CEL coming on. It seems like ive lost a fair bit of power..

Feels like boost cut, but its from start of spool all the way up. The CEL is flashing 2 times. Then a brief pause, then another 3. It seems to come once i start to take off or start hitting boost in any gear.

A couple times its also just flashed 3 times then nothing.

Flashing CEL usually means a misfire. But without having the code read, it could be anything.

Go to a workshop ASAP, get the code read, fix, profit.

Definitely the best advice.
Could also try and find some one close/local to you who has a scanner or ecudatascan to see the code and possibly clear it?

give the workshop that tuned your car a call and get them to check the CEL
Stock ECU with Ecutek or Verso?

Or aftermarket?

or someone here with a scanner might be able to help provided its a stock ecu
