I don't speed anymore, i guess I learned my lesson with a 700$ ticket.
Im starting to learn that too. might not have been 700 but 300 still hits yah in the wallet.

Now how does one put a boost conrtroller on? Im guessing you have a turbo? and im also guessing a boost controller would be useless on a glt.
If you cant put one on a GLT dont worry about telling me how to. lol
If your GLT is with B5254T engine, you can put the boost controller on. its a low preasure turbo 193hp/199torque.

This thread is getting a bit long in the tooth. Have your codes read and then fire up a new thread, along with your codes, and we can take in from there.
