Thanks man!

I was reading stuff about limp mode, and I didnt know what exactly that meant and was wondering if maybe it was not really driving it hard and the CPU gets used to that.

If you drive it hard enough to get the oil temps above 280*F you will hit the first stage of limp mode, which limits your RPMs to around 5xxx. At around 300*F the ECU limits the revs to 2.5-3k at max to keep you from destroying the engine.

Limp mode is a protective measure when the CPU senses something wrong - it's not based on your driving habits. It basically says 'Uh-oh, something is wrong and I'm not going to let the guy behind the wheel drive me too hard until we figure it out.' Think of it like a proactive check engine light.
