ok... i cleaned the MAF with electrical parts cleaner... took the car out for a little heavy driving and when i hit the same turn in the canyon that it normally goes out on, it did it again. its almost a combination of a specific amount of G's and speed that causes it to go limp. didnt fail tho... hit the turn, check engine light, limp mode. 
some ppl i swear

they have a consult II obd2 reader and could help you figure out the MIL code.
for the car going into limp mode would suspect a loose hose somewhere, definately describe the problem. ask for the engine builder howard.

bro thank you so much... i honestly had no idea where i shud be taking the car.... Nissan in Carson is completely worthless, filled with lazy mechanics. and signal auto has proved to be so fu^*&n worthless its retarded... now that i know where the MAF is, when i paid them to clean my sensor, they were spraying cleaner DIRECTLY INTO THE THROTTLE BODY, why? the sensor is on the intake... i need some good local mecs. thx again.

I'd get the code # and post them up, Any Auto Zone will do this for you "free"
Once you post these codes it will help determine what to look into to find the problem. Since the previous owner was such a dumb **** you problems could be related to about anything from the intake to just a loose wire to more costly issues.
Why hasn't the dealership check into this more? Is it not under warranty or something? Should be under the 3yr/36mo b2b still.

yes i did...
just wanted to update everyone on the issue, this might help others....
ok since the car was going into limp mode i have taken it to nissan, they could not find the issue.... replaced the typhoon with the stock box... the issue was still there... put back on the typhoon... no changes... the CEL was still saying that the issue was the throttle body... i even replaced the TB and the issue was still there...
HERE IS HOW THE ISSUE WAS SOLVED about 2-3 weeks ago... i took the car to some no-name mechanic out in the hood about 15 miles away from my house. there name of the guys shop is JESUS's AUTO MECHANIC's ( maybe a little play on words going on here) the guy working on the car was the owner of the shop "Jesus" who spoke very little English, Hispanic background ... he pluggd into the 0bd2 and said that i need to leave the car for a few and he will see what he can do... i get a call about 2 hours later telling me that the car is fixed... now at this time im LMAO like," wtf ever... fixed!?! sure, right, i bet" hahaha im laffing so hard, talkinjg to my friends, we are all being completely sarcastic. i just knew i was going to drive her down the street and i would have to coast it back to the shop once limp again...
i get in, turn the key, pull out of the parking lot, drive it till the motor warms a bit then go full throttle. about 6-8 minuets after the car was put under a heavy load ITS STILL RUNNING, i turn the car off, start it back up, STILL RUNS!!! wow... speechless
now 1,000+ miles later the car is still running with no issues...
here is what the issue was... he said that there was a fuse that was blown and i had a dirty relay that needed to be cleaned... he didnt charge me a dime to fix the issues. said it took him less then 10 mins.
bill from nissan: $480
refabd throttle body: $180
total spent on tow trucks: $247
trusting in Jesus: PRICELESS
