there are lots of people who probably do because there are lots of ways to prevent a cel.
1. cat'ed downpipe, avaliable from kits sold by www.dezod.com
2. anti-foulers to trick the secondary o2 sensor.
so either one of those is the solution. oh, and your in cali...be very careful not to get pulled over..

^^GL.. then once you have the codes search on google and find the CEL code list and you will then know which codes you have thrown.. sears may also do that for you.. not sure though.

i would recommend gatting a scangauge or scan tool its a good investment if you are turboed.. its for your convenience and you can diagnose quick.. most cel should go away with proper tuning, a defective sensor and part can cause a cel too
