"XS" chips aren't for boost, so ya, when you boost you'll throw a code for it. Get it tuned properly, or at least a proper basemap setup to allow boost.

You need a new chip setup properly. And perhaps some bigger injectors.

No, that'll throw a code too....... it's not setup for boost. Go search, there's plenty of information on this.
