The engine management light in my BMW 1 series 116D 2016 plate has illuminated due to two issues. Firstly, the air intake is registering a higher than normal level. Secondly, there is a problem with the sensor located above the turbo, but I am unclear of its exact nature or location. I have replaced the air MAF sensor and performed maintenance on the air filter and box for the air intake system. What further factors should I consider or actions should I take to categorise these? Assistance in any kind would be very appreciated.

Thank you in advance

It is possible that there is excessive boosting or a leak in the boost system.

Currently, I do not possess the precise codes, but I anticipate acquiring them at a later time. However, I am aware that the codes were spoken in close proximity to the information.

To ensure the functionality of the code, it is advisable to inspect the pipes for any signs of splits or leaks, with special attention to the breather pipe.
Check the steel tubing of the pre-turbine pressure sensor for any obstructions.
Examine the EGR cooler for any obstructions.
It is preferable to have someone with expertise in ista to execute the test plan, since it will systematically lead you through a sequence of tests and identify the most probable cause.

Appreciation is extended. Last night, I was unable to get the code for the sensor located above the turbo. However, I will make an effort to obtain it today, as well as any other codes that may arise. One of the codes that appeared was 28CD00, indicating a missing code for the radiator shutters.
