1. Boost leak test
2. replace the maf
Well first off I would like to thank you very much for the help and also say you were 100% right. The problem was the MAF sensor, I guess with all the movement with only the air filter and no real support, the thing was bouncing and hitting everywhere and damaged the sensor, that is what I believe happened.
It was just so coincidental that it happened right after I put the DP and TP and made me believe that was the cause of the problem, so I want to apologize to UR and say that it wasn't the product and BTW I am very happy with my purchase since I can enjoy it now...lol

So since my friend wasn't around so I can try his MAF sensor I took the chance and hoped that was the problem and bought the sensor.

I disconnected the battery and then changed the MAF sensor. When I started the car the light stood on for about 2 seconds and then GONE!. $170 later and finally problem fixed. Now i can enjoy the car again..lol BTW I want to thank everyone that helped with there thoughts and suggestions.

lol... yea deff good quality item and at a great price. I was just scared that it was the DP and TP causing the problem since it happened the same day I installed those parts but it was just a coincidence that the MAF sensor went that same day.

Here's a tip to save you $170. Either get a bracket for that filter or get a different intake. It'll be much cheaper in the long run.
