    EPC came on with P25A900 Powerstage Valve Piston Cooling Oil Control Circuit/Open. What does this mean. Should I get this checked immediately? Car drives like normal unless I get on it.

    Never seen it but I’m guessing it’s a broken hose or solenoid valve that’s stuck. Maybe a circuit is grounding.

    Piston cooling jet controller issue.
    First time I've seen that.

    Piston Cooling Nozzle Control Valve -N522-

    Luckily it looks inexpensive if that is all it is.

    Unfortunately or fortunately, it is right next to the turbo oil feed lines. Perpendicular to them.
    If you had the screen replaced already, maybe the connector is just loose.
    If you have not had the screen replaced, perhaps now you have a reason.
    Funny thing if you look at the picture of it on the ECS site it has... guess what...another screen. So if the screen everyone talks about gets clogged up...what about this one?

    In this picture (thanks @Clipse3GT) you can see it just below the upper exhaust manifold bolt hole.

    Screen was clogged which may have damage the cooling jet.

    Sounds like this part should be automatically replaced when doing the turbo oil strainer.. If the micron rating of the piston cooling jet screen is smaller than the micron rating of the turbo oil screen, this screen is sure to clog up.. ughh

    Any pics of the clog and the damage caused to the piston cooling jet?
