Air Intake Removal

I took most of my air intake off don't ask why just didn't want it anymore. Is there any way to make the Check Engine Light go away.

or you can disconnect the negative side of the battery to reset the ecu.

Yeah... it is always a good idea to suck hot air into the turbo from inside the engine compartment, instead of that nice cool air from the wheel well...

You took out the entire airbox? so you just have the inlet hose left and your MAF sensor is just hanging there? You know they have airfilters on cars for a reason.
