Default Turbo Update..... Problem

ok, i finally got the down pipe welded and the oil line taped. It sounds great when it spools. I am not running any boost yet, im still waiting for my intercooler and ecu chip. Problem is that now I get a CEL after driving random amounts of time. Every time I turn the car off, the CEL clears. How can I check what it thinks the problem is? Only things I have really messed with are the Oil Pressure sensor and the O2 sensor. Why would it throw a code after random driving times? How can i check the code?

and i must say, that looks sweet.
Please considder the following:
-I have never installed a turbo before
-I have only used HAN for Reference
-Other than the welding, ive done all the work.

Could be anywhere between ure fuel tank to injectors. It's a soft code right? You don't lose power when driving? Also, where do you get the piping wrap?

Actually im losing a noticable amount of power loss when driving (i wont even try racing how it is right now) I got the wrap from local performance shop for $1/foot. But i found out its got fiberglass in it, and im still itching.

Just check the usuals I guess, like pump, fuel filter, and injectors. Might have a clogged injector, it happens.
