More than likely a MAF or Lambda fault.
You need to find somebody who can datalog the ECU and read the fault codes, to find out what's wrong with it.

no dont have a boost gauge just the 2 decats at present,
have had the car 2 years now but allways had some trouble usually booting it in 4th brings the cel on.dosent seem to affect the running though.
anyway had it checked twice first time was crank sensor then the second time was a misfire in 1 2 3 and 4 cylinders, so had a full service inc plugs but the first time i booted it in 4th the dreaded light again so its allways been there but since decat its got a lot worse
