CEL (only) under boost

[94'TSI'AWD]

Ok this is weird, i installed dsmlink the other day and when i drive my car and even hit 1psi of boost i get a check engine light that pops on and doesn't go away until i push the clutch..... It only goes away when i touch the clutch ....verry verry weird. Please help and if i need to post a log let me know what you want in it.

What is your cel set up to come on for knock? Does it have a code when you check it on link?

What he said . Link has an option for your cel to come on when it detects knock.

I wonder what the count is before it will kick on the CEL, anybody know? its only on during boost and goes away the second i push in the clutch to shift. could it be the illusive "phantom knock?" Since i only run premium fuel? What causes knock?

Knock will usually occur because of pre detonation or unusual combustion. I think the default knock setting is around 5 on ecmlink. If I had link on this laptop I'd tell you how to see the setting, drawing a blank right now. I think it has its own tab for it.
