Engine Power

Was racing a turbo'd scion tc on the highway...got up to 145mph and car just shoke and engine light came on and in the info center said ENGINE POWER REDUCED....can it be a over boosting problems that caused it....i do have the boost mod and 2.9 pulley..weather was in the mid 60's....boost was at 18psi..went down to 60mph and tryed to press the gas didnt do nothing..no codes popped up or anything..just said ENGINE POWER REDUCED and engine light came on..stopped at a gas station to see whats up and car kinda choked when it came to a stop..didnt turn of or anything...i let it sit for 10min and unplugged the battery to reset ecu,went back on the highway and feels fine...

and Yes i won the race...2 car win
