CEL again after o2 fix? is it something else?

Mods are 3" tbe, k&n drop in, fuel pump, and base dynoflash. no mbc but boost hits about 20lbs.

After installing my tbe and getting base flash the same day, car ran great. Didn't do the 18mm mechanical 02 fix until a few days later when CEL came on at a WOT freeway pull. Reset the battery and CEL was gone for about 3 days. Finally got a WOT freeway pull (open roud of course) after the o2 fix up to 120 and CEL came on again.

Do I need another anifouler on the 02 or could it be something else? I think i can fit another 18mm on there. Where can I get my CEL code checked? If I do it at the dealer, will they be dicks about it?
THX.

You can get them checked at Auto zone, well at least here in CO. I had a similar problem on mine after I installed my TBE. I got one of the Perrin o2 simulators and it work great.

i had the same problem, and my light never turned off. Tried 2 perrin 02 sims, and an ultimate racing test pipe with the 02 fooler, and still no dice. I just took out the CEL bulb, thats my fix. That light is the worst, i just scan the car from time to time to make sure nothing else is wrong.
