Tsi turbo question

Hello,
I just installed the tsi turbo and it runs great. Had one question. The check engine light turned on? Did any one of u experience the same thing when u installed the kit? If so, what did u do to fix the problem? I know this question has been asked probably hundrends of times but is it okay to drive the car with the "check engine" light on?
Thanks for your help in advance!!

BudDyLeEBoOsteD has a little shameless behaviour in the past

It may Vary.. 1st off what kinda fuel Setup are you running?
2nd Have you checked what kinda code is throwing... Like MISFIRE cylinder 1,2,3 or 4.
Or something of that Nature..
what kinda exahust pipin did you use? ( DO YOU STILL HAVE YOU'R CAT)
Did you keep the Exahust Temp Pressure that was down there.? or you disconected it?

could be that the MAP Box (little black box) is not hooked up, or hooked up correctly. It could be that you used their settings, ran hella lean, and blew a HG or something else. Did you get it tuned? Is the CEL on all the time, or only under boost? What are you using for fuel?
