The mapper hasn't used your CEL light as a shift light? Sure this can be mapped or maybe the MAF reading is higher than expected due to high air intake/Boost? I think this appears after 4.78v, This happened to mine.

If it blinks once and at the same rpm every time, i'd say its a shift light.

Mine is on Simtek at 6500 rpm

i had mine set at 8k so you cannot confuse it with the shift light/engine knock

Correct, this has now been adjusted. It was the Voltage Scaling on the Maf. Now ECUTEK re-scaled and all appears to be ok now.

Thanks
