Turbos disabled, then worked again on restart

[Buzzman12]

Well, I had a scary incident today. Hopefully it's not an issue, but I thought I would ask.
I have a 2023 GT Elite (Canada) and as I was driving around the neighbourhood, I pulled out from a side street onto a main street, and decided to punch it a bit.
As soon as I did that, I had to pull off the gas and hit the brakes. The engine didn't seem to like it too much. It had just started to spool up when I backed off.
After that, I had no turbos. None. Scared the crap out of me. Like , what have I done?
I pulled off again onto a side street and stopped. I shut the car off for about ten seconds, then restarted it. It went right back to normal.
There is no warning light on the dash, and everything seems fine.
Has this happened to anyone else, and is it something I should be worried about? The car only has 6,600 Kms on it (about 4,100 miles).
Thanks.

Hard to tell really unless there was a pending code, which would most likely be cleared by now. I know the 2022+ have a tendency to overboost in cold weather, especially with intake/exhaust mods. If it happens again grab a OBDII reader and see if there's a pending code. If it's overboost it'll be p0234 and if it happens again after you turn the car off and back on and trigger overboost again it'll actually cause a CEL to pop up.

That's very likely an overboost situation you had. I remember experiencing it first time too and kinda scared me for a minute.

As said the 22+ stingers stock tune has a higher chance of overboosting. Only way around it is either an ecu tune, jb4 with ewg wires (that's my current setup) or bef tune with jb4. I heard from owners taking it to stealership and basically wasted time with no solutions and giving the run around.

If you don't want to flash the ecu then have to go jb4 route. I have a 23 and had same issue. It's fairly well documented around here and jb4tech where 100% stock stingers will overboost.

Once I got the jb4 with the ewg wires hooked up and dialed wastegate adaptations ff to 50 and sometimes slightly below that I had no more overboost. Of course you get a real nice power gain as well! Jb4 is literally best bang for buck for performance. I had to do some pulls and look at logs to analyze when its borderline overboosting and adjust the wastegate settings accordingly.

Duplicate post.

Thanks for the responses. I googled it as well, and most of the answers were the same, even for different model cars, engines etc.
Looks like an overboost for sure, and yes, 90% of the responses when I searched said the same thing about dealerships, meaning, don't bother taking it in.
I have pretty much put the car away for the winter, and it won't be driven much at all.
I only take it out on a clear day when the roads aren't salty, and so I won't be doing anything to it until the spring.
The more I read on this forum about the jb4 mod, the more I'm inclined to do it (next spring, summer though).
Just for reference, how much are these kits, and where is the best place to order?
Thanks again everyone.
