Question

Whats the best way to find out if your engines running the way it should? Rolling road or is there something the main dealer can do?

You can use the MRT rally site (can't remember the URL check google) to connect plugs under the dash to count any CEL flashes to see if there are any errors stored. If not then a boost gauge is a useful indicator of some of what it going on.

I think if you only connect either the green or grey plugs (can't remember which) you will not reset the ECU, but read stored errors in the form of flashes. Have a search in Drivetrain for "fault codes" or similar - there are several threads on it. Codes also depend on your model year and car type to some degree.
