Angry WTF now my check engine lights on,

I have owned this car for 13 days it been in the shop 4X now here the list:
1. Paint under drivers side rear window cracking
2. Paint shop left drip mark from painting and found a dirt ball under paint on hood
3. Belt shredded on on Stage 2 Upgrade
4. Service Engine Light
This is my first Chevy and its not going real well!
Call On Star they said something about the fuel management system code?
Any suggestion what it could be, the light did not come on until I turned the AC on and after I had the upgrade done.

Didn't you take it for a test drive and look at it before you drove it off the lot?

The car seems to be down right finicky when it comes to mods. If your particular one doesn't like them, it'll let you know. It's that damn Maf, gm designed it way too sensitive. It seems that every bad Cobalt ever made winds up being posted about on this site.
