A few weeks ago I posted that I initially installed the SB improperly, and the car stalled. I then installed it properly and everything was fine except the "Engine Malfunction Reduced Power" lite came on and stayed on. It finally went off yesterday and hasn't returned. Can't imagine this has affected too many, but for those that have (or will have) this problem I wanted to share.

It made the car everything I thought it would be. Throttle response is great now.

Yea I got the engine error code the first time I fitted it aswell. But for me it didn't go away, I had to go to Advance Auto so they could clear the code.
