Your DTCs should be in the form of Pxxxx, Cxxxx, or Bxxxx. Code 95 sounds like a hypertech error that you will need to call hypertech to resolve. Most likely it's a calibration code that they just need to update your box, or the cable isn't properly connected or shorting out.

Code p1249 is wastegate not detected, if you have installed a larger exaust, and or air cleaner, your pushing the waste gate open too easily. This means the spring is to weak to help boost get up to par. I replaced my wastegate when this happened. Problem gone. You can tell by if your getting alot of whistle out of your exaust. Once I replaced wastegate I never got code P1249 again.

Why don't you report him to Ebay and also put a charge-back dispute on the credit card purchase?

If you talk really sweat to hypertech or your local hypertech dealer, they might clear it for you.
