Did you leave the stock solenoid hooked up? Not sure on the X, but I know on VIII & IX if you disconnect that, it can throw a code.

OK well i took it to my mechanic and it got a fuel code. IT was because i was running to rich because i had my BOV set to 100% atmosphere and with the extra boost from the boost controller not tampering down as much it set if off so i am gunna try the 50% to 50% and see what happens. But this is a heads up for any one thinking about doing this.

Ya i was throwing all kinda of SES lights. SO i just on pluged my EBC untill i get all my performanc parts and can get it tuned then ill plug it back again. The light wont hurt just unplug the battery or just drive the car and it will go of on its own. But if you keep driving with the boost controller then it will still pop the SES light so you might want to think of un pluging it.
