I finally got under my pedal, installed the SB. Turned on my car, at first it struggled to even start. When it finally did it just kept reving by itself over and over, and 2 or 3 lights went on on my dash. I unplugged it, tried again, this time the car wouldn't start. It sounded like a car that needed a new ignitor or spark plugs or something.. scared the shit out of me.. Anyways I returned everything back to normal, started my car. At first it made a weird loud noise, and then it was fine. I drove around for 15 minutes and all was well, other then my engine oil light being on.. WTF did this sprint booster do to my car 
I'm going to take it to my buddy that own's a mechanic shop tomorrow 
btw, the engine oil light is on in my dashboard, but when I look through i-drive it says engine oil is ok?!?!

This happened on the 550 I installed it on. I drove it around for a little bit and the computer reset. All is fine with his car. Did you try that? If you turn it on and not drive it around, it won't reset.

The second time I made sure it was super tight, and the same thing happened. Maybe its not what I'm doing, maybe the SP is a doozy, lol. I almost don't even wanna f*&^ around with it again, I sounded like my car was breaking

To be honest you don't need that booster you have twin turbos already boosting power I would not have messed with that at all. :thumbsdown: I hope it works itself out for you.
