it tricks the MAF sensor basically. if that sees too much boost you will have a CEL

Stock Honda ECU's expect to see a maximum manifold pressure of atmospheric. (0 psi on your boost guage) If it sees any boost at all, it should throw a CEL. The Drag kit probably came with check valves to prevent this.

yeah, basically once it reads positive vacuum (boost) and not negative vacuum, you will get a light (cel)
