Is it a check engine light, CEL, you could have knocked the MAF sensor when putting on the IK.

Just to add don't bother with one unless you are running a front mount/ have it set up and remapped for an IK.

You may need a trip to a specialist to reset the CEL via the OBD port under the dash.

With IK they can suck in warm air from the engine bay without proper ducting.
So you can be down on power, standard airbox with a decent filter eg K&N, Green, STi, Apexi etc is good enough for 300+.

Also if you've damaged the MAF fueling can be all over the shop which can lead to Det/knock/pinking and melted pistons(Worst case scenario)

Best get it checked ASAP just to be safe, probably nothing though.
