Paul should be able to tighten your lug nuts for you.... But really you should be careful... You might also want to go under the rear of your car and check to see if there is a black box on the right side... if there is it means the dealer put a tracking device on it... and it is to scan to see if you are modded by reading emissions out the tail pipe... if it comes back positive it tells the ecu to break the boost solenoid aka ****ing up your wastegate which is what caused the code

buy a new solenoid, ed has one that he likes to use, costs like 70 bucks. although then you would need a new tune.
