Default CEL when in boost!!!

I have a stock gsr with and recently boost it, no other mods but just the man turbo part. Sometimes when i'm in boost, the check engine light pops up, could it be that i'm running too rich and the o2 sencor throws a cel?

Sounds like your running a stock ecu ?
You need to have your engine control unit (ecu) modified for your vehicle's turbo application.

i assume you are running an fmu or vafc hack? its probably your map sensor, which can only read up to ~11 psi.

so you are running stock injectors and stock ECU, no management whatsoever. lol, no wonder you have a CEL under boost.

you dont just chip an ECU, throw crome on it and call it a day. you obviously should not be working or tuning this turbo project.

You should get the proper injectors, fuel pump, engine computer, dyno tuning etc.

Park the car and dont drive it, read as much as you can and learn what you are trying to do. Theres a nice sticky at the very top of this section that you can read.


What you are doing=KABOOM!

I feel a BOOM BOOM coming..also one question..how can you be running rich when your not adding any additional fuel to the system? Point is you don't know what your doing, park it and read before you blow your **** up. I hate people that don't research first =/
