The thing is, I have it set at 16psi. I haven't turned it up from winter yet, so this low it shouldn't be an issue...? Taking it in tomorrow, so we'll see.

Ok, the code is p0234. Wastegate. He basically said the light will continue to come on everytime im at WOT. How do I get around this?

Thats a fuel cut for sure. It might not be your fuel. I had the same problem and it only got worse. I found out my wastegate was stuck. Check it out bro.

Literally a split second. What could this have been? First time anything like this has happened, hopefully a fluke.

It's happened 3 times already... and I have to say its been after I disconnected the negative terminal while I installed my head unit. I dont know if that changed anything... but I don't want to get pumping out p0234's. It's the combinaition of the k&n and boost controller.. so what can be done to stop it?

Take it to a tuner shop, get it checked out.
