Hello, folks
So, I Purchased Brand new 2017 Boxster S model this May.
Took it to the track at 2500 mile, 3-4 laps on track and noticed that it only make 5 psi of boost at the max.
Oil temp reading was 235-240 F, Outside temp was 85F.
Wasn't able to finish the entire trackday due to the limp-mode issue.. getting pissed off....
The next day, made an appointment for service. Took the car in for check up few days later.
Mechanic said that turbo was overheating and went into limp mode to protect the turbo and engine.
Over the past weekend, weather was nice around 65 degrees. So I took my 718s out for some country backroad experience.
About 5-10 mins into spirited driving and all the sudden oil temp skyrocketted to 245F and it went into Limp mode again.
Aren't these cars made for track use? My old M3 never had this issue before...
Does anyone experience this overheating issue with their new 718s?
