boost gauge and check engine light?

sup guys

about a week ago i installed 3 new gauges volt, A/F, and a mech. boost gauge
shortly after gettin them all hooked up and workin my check engine light came on.

when i installed the boost gauge i cut the line thats a direct freed into the manifold and installed me " T " there to run the little vac hose to the boost gauge....

would that " T " set off a check engine light, the car runs and drives fine i have not noticed n-e loose in how it drives.

The t might do it but wait for a couple of cycles and it should go away. My blow off valve sets off my check engine light off sometimes

u didnt get a narrow band a/f did u? if u did u wasted ur money. u should have gotten a oil pressure instead of the narrow band. if ur gonna get gauges on a car like this at least get ones that do something for u. dont be like me on my old car and waste money on something that just for looks that doesnt give u any decent info.

are they pretty bright on ur eyes at night, i was looking at prosport, but i went with defi instead cause they didnt look as intense at night. and i love em. ur emissions thing could be he ment evap pressure, which is most likely ur gascap, take it off and put it back on see what it does.

oh and have fun installing the oil pressure sender, lol its a pain in the a$$. ill help u if u need any.

thats far haha

so i just got back from the dealership took 2 hrs in the waiting room, my car needs a new purge cylinder, im not 100% where its found but i think it has to do with something about releasing gasses or somethign like that, they ordered the part, the best part is its all covered free for me, the lady at the front desk said it might be b/c of the boost gauge but it wasnt so thats gettin fixed within the week
