Is there a certain way to keep your car from going into limp mode at all? Anything you should do, other than just not running a lot of boost. I believe my car is in it now, but it only used to peak at 13/14 psi, now its only going to 4psi. Would disconnecting the battery work? And how would I keep it from doing it again?

Diode mod. Look it up.

Personally, I think the diode mod is a bandaid. If you're actually getting boost pressures high enough to cause the PCM to safe things by going into limp, masking the problem with a diode and essentially lying the PCM about engine conditions seems a cheesy cop-out and a risky proposition.
If the car is going into limp it's because it's overboosting. Either you've got true boost regulation issues or you're spiking. If you're spiking, get a good MBC (e.g. boostvalve, TurboXS HPBC etc) in parallel with the N75 and adjust it to limit boost to below the limp threshold. Your connecting rods will thank you...

Is your car stock? I assumed you have something done ie mbc?
Otherwise, it probably would be wise to find the issue.
