Check engine light on after stage one tunning
Can some one tell me why after my stage one package of two weeks ago my engine light has just come on.
I know nothing about cars, and I want to know if it is safe to drive the car off boost till I can ring my tuners on monday.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

Sorry, its an 07 year 2.5 Hawkeye Sti and the car has uprated fuel pump, panel flter 76mm Milltek exhaust with sports cat. and of course a custom remap.
The car appears to be running fine, just the light is on steadily.

Probably due ti the miltek exhaust wit sports cat, it will be okay for MOT but outside the parameters set by Subaru. Years ago tehe was a CEL light fix unit but cannot remember where from. Speak to where you got the work done for advice, they may be able to fix it in the ecu. Get this annually at MOT time.

shouldn't have engine light on.. could be anything thought before someone plugs in and checks the actual code.. emissions should be mapped out but can be missed..

Exactly !
Drive it like Grandma till it's re-re-map'd.....
"By one of the best" who just may have slipped up, possibly or there is a random fault surfacing....

I had the same problem on my 03WRX after it had a up pipe, sports cat and remap by Zen, i Think it is to do with the Oxygen sensor in the up pipe, luckily I have a tactrix cable and software so checked it out, and did a search for CEL fix, I cannot fully remember what I did but I had to put a resistor in the plug to replace the sensor, that was 2 years ago, no problems and no engine light
