Right it only just started happening but when starting from cold the boost is being restricted to under 10 psi.
Now not sure it actually limp mode or not but not sure whats causing it either
any ideas guys.

by the way as soon as i turn engine off and start again it will run fine

Known problem, apparetnyl with the original SEAT map, made more apparent when remapped (because you REALLY notice the difference).

It's something to do with the IAT...

Try a search, been discussed before, commonly know as "the cold start issue" Revo and a few other tuners have sorted it, who did your map?

The fact a turn off of the ignition solves it.....You are defo going into limp mode for some reason.

Quality of fuel perhaps? A couple of months ago i got caught short and had to put a tenner of 95 in my car. Tried to plant the foot with it and instantly hit limp. Filled up again with V-power and never happened since.
