Default Check Engine light and other things

Ok so my CHECK ENGINE light comes on. I think it is telling me I need service that it will go off after a few minutes of driving.

WRONG...

I also check to see if I am boosting correctly. I am not. I have the Speed Tuning USA ecu upgrade set at 12PSI. It is only boosting stock numbers of 5-7PSI.

I am also noticing that my BOV is not going off even under the stock boost numbers of 5-7PSI like it used to do before my ECU upgrade from Speed Tuning.

Does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong? It is going in on Friday for my SRS light to be checked out, and will have them check this out too. But does anyone know in the mean time what it could be.

Thanks

Check for vaccum leaks. That is all I can tell you now. If I had some codes I could tell you more.

Well all problems fixed.

SRS light was like a false reading. Nothing was wrong with the SRS system.

Some headlight switch needed replaced but was done on warranty because of a recall.

As for the check engine light, a front O2 sensor had to be replaced for like $365 which I feel is a rip off.
Aslo they tried to blame my ECU upgrade and my BOV to cause the problems. However my BOV has been on since August and my ECU has been installed since before Christmas with no problems.
Some turbo oil tube or something is leaking oil so I have to watch my oil level.

They did a damn inspection and foundf my front brake discs were warped so they replacd them for a stupid price of like $350 way overpriced.

Total came to over $800.00

You should have waited on the brakes and installed aftermarket and better rotors.

You can fix the turbo return line o-ring your self when you get to your tools. It will take you about a Half hour to do.

The O2 sensor is expensive. Thats Bosh for you.

Thats BS about the ECM and BOV!!!
