Have you got a pressure gauge fitted along with the dawes? If so what boost pressure are you seeing? If you are getting a boost solenoid fault you must be overboosting. Have you got any ECU mods? If you haven't I would suggest having a scoobyecu fitted courtesy of David Wallis & co so that you can raise the boost cut and have the ignition and fuel curves mapped to account for the extra boost.
For resetting the ecu try http://www.saxonfields.freeserve.co.uk

cheers

Because it has overboosted it may have registered a solenoid fault, What is the car boosting to now with the check light on? May now be in safe mode until it is reset. Did the check light come on shortly after the overboost?
