    GIAC Stage 2 no CEL no Boost!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I need some and help and was not able to find anything on Audizine.

    Little background on the car:
    - Timing Belt/Head gasket replaced 5k ago
    - Most of the hoses and sensors replaced on the cooling system
    - Vacuum Line Replaced 5k ago
    - I have done a lot more work on the car but the things listed are pertinent to the problem IMO.

    First I thought it was my DV, but the boost is smooth and consistent through and through. There is no hissing or inconsistent noise.
    I should probably get a boost gauge to see what I am boosting at now. Feels like stock levels with added little extra from the exhaust and the HFC.
    Any info on this would help.

    My Set UP
    - GIAC 1+
    - TT 386cc Injectors
    - 034 HFC
    - AWE Cat back Exhaust
    - NKG BKR7E’s gaped at .04 with 2.0T coil pack (Might be the problem since most people run at .028 or .032)

    I got a CEL and my car does not pull nearly as hard.

    I am getting the P0171 Bank 1 System is too Lean
    Suggested to replace the crankshaft position sensor (which I did before the GIAC flush)

    Also it gave me two other possible codes that could be the cause:
    - P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Input
    - P0411 Secondary Air Injection Incorrect Upstream Flow Detected

    Do you guys think it might be from NKG gaping? I cant imagine it is, because it ran like a dream for 179 miles.

    Please Help!!

    Make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks, generally an engine will run lean if you have a fairly substantial leak. If you have access to vag com, go to 01 ECU - Measuring value block and see block 32.

    Sorry took so long to update
    Here what was wrong:
    The MAF had to replaced
    The Breather Assembly is leaking
    And now my DV sounds like a DUCK under boost =(

    I just bought 034 Motor Breather Assembly and 710N DV and all New elbows hoses and everything else to replace the whole Breather Assembly.

    I hope to throw this on this weekend to prey to God I can start enjoying the GIAC benefits!!!!
