Alright so I installed TF upper and lower intake along with a Accufab 75mm TB. I started it up last night seemed fine a little rough but ok. Check engine light is on and I am not sure why. Any idea?

I would still pull the code to see what it is. I can't really see your CAI not being fastened properly to cause a code. Unless you meant that your MAF was not plugged in correclty, or there was a leak in the air tube after the MAF.
