[QUOTE="TARM, post: 458366, member: 578"] That waste gate error is code P1249 IIRC. First off are the red or green hose that goes to the waste gate solenoid valve plugged in? As if not that will cause that code. The solenoid is the black canister I guess you could say it looks like that sits right infront of the Y. Has a green connector on it with a green and red line coming out of it. Could also be the unit itself went bad. But over all its nothing earth shattering unless your engine is running bad or smoking bad etc... The P0238 turbo boost sensor curcuit A high/low is from overboost almost always unless you are not chipped or programed. Then it could be an actual issue. Basically you made more boost than the factory PCM tune allows for. You got the overboost code. Some tuners know how to actually tune the map so the map can handle these codes. Others just set the tune to turn off the code but do nothing in the tune to deal with the actual issue or they just let the code show. In the latter situation you need a boost fooler to prevent this. It can lead to defueling in some situations which you would feel a loss of power while still on the throttle. What CPS do you have? As has been said its not that unusual to see a 3&8 if you are running one of the newer CPS units. If you have a grey one try get one that is manf by Delphi. Advance Auto sells them online. Usually do not have them in the store. They are almost exactly like the old blacks and tend to have the least issue with phantom codes from weak magnets and other specs. First thing to do is record all the codes you got and then erase them and see what comes back just with a key cycle restart of the engine. Then take it for a normal drive and see. Then give a good hard run gradually getting into the throttle. [/QUOTE]
