dtc p1516 and p2101 after sts turbo install I recently installed a STS on my 2005 GTO and now everytime I get into boost it goes into safety mode. I scanned it and the codes were p1516 and p2101. What is causing it? It never threw those codes prior to the turbo.

its been a while but I beleive that would have to do with the tac
module! I dont think that hp tuners can access or block these type
of codes . did you mess with the blade position of the throttle body?
is the throttle body ported?
does the throttle body move forward and backwards with no
restriction?
Otherwise basicly what it boils down to is that you have
a tuning issue and a good tuner "hard to find" should be able to get
rid of the problems i hope your not running a sts kit on a base tune
if so get it to a tuner asap
luckily we have jason at extreme performance in oklahoma city
otherwise we would be screwed.
hes worth the drive! he made my sts kit work perfectly!

no the throttle body is untouched. The car is tuned for the turbo using HPtuners (not by me). This "safe mode" crap is a joke, It happened last night merging into traffic on the freeway. GM needs to change the name to: "lookout your about to get F'd up" lucky there was a shoulder to pull off on.
