TBE just installed; check engine light ON?

I just installed my Buschur Turbo back last night and everything sounded/performed nice. Today i woke up and went for a drive and my check engine light came on. Im thinking it might be because the testpipe. Any insight on what it might be?

Now now, the comment wasn't exactly pointless. He was encouraging you to learn how to fish. Unfortunately people seem to have given you your fish so it looks like we'll hear from you the next time your hungry.

you can either..

1) have a tuner remove the code permanently

2) get a mechanical fix. go onto ebaymotors.com and find one. They are about $10 and it screws into the exhaust and then the sensor screws into the fix. It removes the sensor from direct stream of exhaust flow.

I wasn't being a smartass. You were being lazy as hell and wanted us to spoonfeed u. Before u come here for help try to gather as much info as possible(which includes going to get the codes pulled, only takes 5mins)

Ditto. This is the problem man. Go to Advance auto and buy this and follow these instructions, and you won't have a CEL anymore.
