u can just got to like most autozone's and get an ODB-II scanner and delete it that way...they let u borrow them as long as u give them a credit card to hold while u go out to ur car with it...mine is doing the same thing right now and i just got all my stuff put on by kevin down in costa mesa...well kevin and christian...they reccomended getting a new fuel pump

Don't just delete the SES, check the code and post what it is to figure out what the problem is.

of course we all know to find the cause of the CEL and not just turn it off,right ?

I didn't turn mine off I knew that was the last thing I modded so took it out of the equation and it turned off by itself

You might have a bad boost leak

If you have a boost leak then your turbo isn't pumping what it should. So then it boosting more to get there. Example: turbo is only putting out 16 but you have it set at 21. So your boost controller won't know about the leak and your gauge will show 21 when you are actually boostin 27. Your bov might be leaking under full boost. Faulty boost controller might also create the problem
