Hi there . My 2003 xr6 turbo factory falcon. Started chugging on me when I was a little low on gas . Third time now. I can't seem to run it under 30 k gas wise. So I had put gas in ( I will add I still had 33 k left. Driving just fine on motorway started chugging and shuttering so I pulled over turned her off and she went sweet again . Came into town and she started doing the same thing again over 100 k in tank still. She went into limp mode literally around the road from home. She sat for a few hours and went fine again . Then did limp mode again. But then this morning she's back to normal. I have had fuel filter replacement the first time this happened as I felt like it was something to do with fuel. As it's only ever when it gets low. I've had so much different advice. I don't even know where to start to be honest . Please help 🆘

So I've just installed a 4" Dump - 5" Cat in preparation to be Tuned on Friday, Problem being I need to drive 6hrs to get to the tuner. Everyone says this will cause Overboost so I took it for a drive to try and activate Limp mode so I would know when it happens and what I'm dealing with rather than finding it all out in the middle of woop woop. Boost seemed to peak at 13psi (OBDII-android device) gunning it in 2nd or 3rd but once peaked it wouldn't boost past 3psi until the engine was shut off, no codes or lights. Made all the regular noises and ran Perfectly but with the power of an n/a xr6 and without the push back into the seat. Is this what normally happens or am I not thrashing it hard enough? Doesn't seem so bad. Also has full exhaust, turbo side intake, stage2 PW Intercooler. Never Tuned
