Default More boost and Check Engine light - after disconnected battery

Afternoon all, hope someone can help me out here

I've had an alarm fitted today on my 94 sti and as part of the fitting process I pressume the battery is disconnected for a while.
Since picking it up the car is now running up to 1.2 bar (whereas before it was 0.9) but cutting out at high revs.
The Check Engine light is also constantly on.

I'm guessing having the battery disconnected has reset something or other, what do I need to do to sort this out?

Cheers?

I wouldn't have thought the disconnection of the battery would cause this. Reset the ECU and read which code it gives you. That should tell you where the problem lies. You could also check around the boost solenoid (drivers side suspention turret) to see if any vaccum pipe or connecters have been knocked off during the alarm install.

Cheers.

Also noticed that the speedo is not working now, could that be related?

think your speed sensor is gone or shorted. but i would assume your check engine light might be the boost solenoid problems
