Guys, just installed the seprint booster and i heard a very quick "sputter" when i first started the car and it threw a check engine light, ever happen to you guys before?
On the second, third startup, no "sputter" but the light remains on.

Check to see if the pins are lined up correctly and none was bent during install.
Also, make sure you get the right one for your transmission. There is a difference between manual and automatic.

problem solved... thanks a lot for your help
must have been a bad connection or something, reinstalled it, cleared the light with a Peake tool
and seems to be good, now to leave the computer and go test drive it for a longer period of time

pretty cool stuff,
a tap on the gas brings me up to 3-4k rpm, totally insane, I also did the "25s tranny reset" which also helped a bunch.
need to find an excuse from the wife to do more driving after work LOL.
