335i Check engine light ON/OFF @ 6000+ RPM?

I recently installed the JB4 tune on my 335i.

My engine light came on when I was going at about 6000rpm+ and it automatically turned off within the next 5-8seconds? This happened twice and I'm not sure what's going on.

I also installed an oil catch can, and to prevent the tube getting squeezed to hard when I put the engine body shell back on top of the N54 engine, I did not tighten upper nuts (closer to the windshield). I did tighten the two nuts down below though. Could this be the problem?

I recently replaced my spark plugs about 2000km ago, so I doubt it could be a misfire? but when I was going at 6000rpm+ @ 130km/h, it did vibrate quite a bit.

OK, I literally had to connect my laptop and speed so that the engine light came back on and I could quicky click read code.

It shows this:
30FF Boost under target - poossible boost leak

What should i do next? Take it to mechanic? I recently installed the JB4, Injen DCI, Stett CP + Tial BOV, BSH OCC

I would check all of my installs to make sure everything is in tightly, if you still cannot find the issue I would bring it to an Indy shop. Boost leak could just be a user install of something, good thing we didn't see DME or misfires lol.

Sounds like you may have installed JB4 wrong.

Did you double check everything?

i think it's probably either the charge pipe or DCI.

the JB4 controls works fine on my dash control so I doubt so? I don't get what you mean by installing it wrong. I wouldn't be able to read the codes if I did haha
