your light was proberly rear lambda which is inifiecent cat convertor which is what you would expect, the spluttering may be over boost you can get the light switched off by a mapper,dont know if it will damage your engine, but i wouldn't run my car like that without a remap

It's overboosted and shut itself down to self protect. You'll need a remap by someone who knows what they are doing. They should also fit larger injectors as they'll run out of injector duty as a PPP car alraedy runs at nearly 100% as it is.
