Engine Codes after Turbo

DouginLA · 02-19-2010, 02:56 PM

Hey all, I guess I need to post a few times to allow me to email members.

Anyway, I have a 2008 ForTwo that has the SpeedForceRacing Turbo Stage 2 installed. It is outstanding and makes a huge difference over the stock vehicle. Just wanted to give them some props.

Oh right, forgot to mention what the darn post was about.

After the turbo upgrade, you car gets engine codes thrown. Just a heads up for when you need to get inspected. You can get them cleared, but they'll return.

what codes are being thrown? thanks.

If I had to guess, I'd suspect at least one of them is coming from the MAP sensor, and depending upon the setup, possibly the secondary O2 sensor as well.

If the light bothers you, get a scanguage II, when the key is in the second position, without the engine running, you can clear the codes. But, the codes will come back on within the next drive or too. I used to clear the codes all the time, but now I just accept the light and ignore it. Or, you can do what most people with turbos do - put black electrical tape over the light.

OK I'll ask again. Looks like we now have 2 people saying they get service engine lights with aftermarket turbos. Could you tell us what codes are showing up? thanks.

We are not having code issues but too early in testing to take a stand.
