Eng. Light only if boost is over 1.0-1.1 bar

[Nate Stuart]

Did you pull the fault codes? There are several things that can throw a
fault light at a given intake pressure. The intake air temp sensor for
example, will light the check engine light at anything over 0.7 bar if
there is something screwy with it.

Pull the codes after a run where you get the check engine light, before
you shut the car down.
