Coincidence? Have the fault codes read from the ESP system.

If it's started doing it since you put it on it's the work that's been carried out.

ESP warning fault can come on when the air flow meter fails as it is all connected. Rip the chav valve off, reset the fault codes by disconnecting the battery for a while then see if it comes back.
