Firstly what did you disconnect to fit it?

The maf plug and the breather pipe off the back of the factory intake box but both have been re connected

Have you had a tune yet? It would definitely need tune after installing it. When I first installed mine it sent the car lean so I took it out until I could get tune.

Shouldnt go into limp mode if running lean, will just throw a check engine warning.

Limp mode usually means a fault with the throttle body, either the throttle position sensor or the throttle plate is actually sticking.

Pull the intake off and check inside the throttle body for anything abnormal. Refit the intake making sure it goes on properly and doesn't fold on itself underneath where you cant see.

Also ensure you haven't inadvertently disconnected the connectors to the throttle body.
