Did you pull the neg. battery cable when you were putting it on? That's all I did, then hooked it back up after like 10 mins and no CEL/MIL.

OP, again, some people get those CELs but its only a small number of people.
New2This: The PW (either professionally made or custom made) tricks the PCM into thinking the incoming air is about 22* cooler that what it really is. This only helps to a certain extent before the PCM corrects itself. This only works at WOT when the truck no longer monitors AFR (open loop) and gives it a bit more pep if you will.
