Finally my car is back..PROBLEM 1/2 solved!
Ok, so, went to the dealer first thing this morning for 2 things:
1. CE light came on after 10 miles of EASY DRIVING (below 3500rpm....low boost)
2. Turbo making siren sound (or am I paranoid?)
so, CE light was due to O2 sensor behind the passenger side main cat. (remind you I have AWE dps) Cost about $200 to replace the O2 sensor (parts only)
Here is where Mr. Piggy comes into play as he's electrically inclined.
As for the turbo, techneciens find it ok...and told me if I have any trouble w/ it in the future, they'll check again. As for now, it's fine.
Ok, and here is, again, where Mr. Piggy comes into play as he's mechanically inclined and JC-New-Turbo-Curious also~
Love the S regardless!

good luck man...but if they changed tone on you after a short drive, i wonder what's up? they didn't
hear anything abnormal because they aren't used to the cars, right?
luckily those codes you set were only because of what happened just now and there's nothing to worry about as far as performance.
plus, those freaking O2 sensor locations on those DP's totally suck if the person puting them on is not minding the fitment before tightening everything down...i'll get outta here in a sec and check on the things we talked about.
good luck, and i'll give you a buzz later.
