Sounds like the car is over boosting, can just need a recalibration, may
need the boost solenoid.
Details for either at the links below. look under the DI/APC & Trionic
sections.
Components at http://216.78.173.63/turbo_folder/tricomloc.htm
Base setting/ recalibration at
http://216.78.173.63/turbo_folder/baseboostadj.htm
Basically disconnect the battery and then go drive hard, trying to keep it
between 2500-3750 rpm as long as possible with the gas pedal floored in
third gear up a hill.
To test the boost solenoid, disconnect the connector to it, and using an
ohmmeter, check for continuity from each end terminal to the center
terminal. An open on one side causes base boost only, an open on the other
causes full boost only.
You can only deactivate TCS on manual transmission cars and it requires a
switch to turn it on and off , rewiring, and a new ECU for TCS that
incorporates the on/off function, not cheap. Auto cars cannot be disabled
because the TCS also controls the tranny shift points through ASR and the
kick down motor.
If the problem was caused by TCS,. most likely you would have a TCS light
on in the dash.
You might also have either a bad DI cassette, but my money is on the boost
solenoid.
Good Luck,
