that could be your either running to lean or to rich is my guess what size injectors you put on there and is there any type of fuel management?

I am not sure about this but, a missing link is something that hooks up to your map sensor I believe to allow you to run boost without getting any problems with the computer. Because a stock computer has trouble reading boost, it will always give you a CEL. If you don't have a chipped computer to run boost then thats your problem i'm guessing.

The missing link vents off the boost pressure before it gets to the map sensor. Its just a clean looking check valve. They just trick the computer to overlook boost. the map sensor is a resistor and the higher the pressure you place on it the higher the voltage it puts out.
