Engine check lite come on :(
Helo everyone
So I was driving to work this Morin. Opend the car up ,got to 75mph then the engine check comes on
. There was no power loss no missfire no smoke and it was boostin the same (1BAR) no over heating I did a oil change Friday I just chekt oil/coolant and both are full 
. Its done it once before that's when I changed all my vac hoses (SAMCO) witch are all cable tied. The only thing I can think it mite be is that I have mods with no map yet? any advice will be appreciated thanks ..

Declaring on a public forum that you exceed the speed limits on your way to work is asking for trouble.
A bit like running an engine hard without knowing its capabilities or integrity really.

With Regards to the check engine LIGHT, you have answered yourself really... mods without a map is a one way ticket to a knackered engine... stay off boost until you get it mapped.
