My Ride: 08 535xi Wagon
Default What Happened? Lost Power

08 535xi Only mods on the car are a JB4 on 1, and DCI.

I stomped on the throttle, and the car started accelerating, then the traction control light turned on, and it felt like I lost all power. What might have happened?

I would start with the assumption you popped off one of the intake connections from the extra boost. Check the intake connections between the intercooler and the throttle body

I would say.. your traction control works... It noticed the slipping wheels and shut down your power.
