Default Multiple problems with my FI twin turbo 370z

My car started to misfire randomly but stopped a short while later and drove normally through the rest of the day. I left the car off for about a week, when I went back to drive it the vdc lights came on and it wouldn't rev past 2500 rpms. Has anyone had this problem like this the misfire happens and then it goes right away, could it be injectors? I don't really have a idea why it wouldn't rev past 2500. my car has 26k boosted miles on it, and has always been ran at 7 lbs of boost. Could any of this be a sign that the engine is about to go?

Sounds more like tuning issues ....are you using uprev or ecutek ....where was it tuned ? Anywhere local ....also any chance of maf sensors getting wet or maybe air filter oil on them ....
I did get my maf sensors wet and it did something similar until they dried and I reset everything and reflashed the pcm
