Update: My Boost Leak & PreCat O2 issues
In case some of you were wondering from my prior post I had installed a Zeitronix wideband precat 02 sensor and pluged my factory bung location. The wide band sent a signal back to the ecu in narrowband format, but I ended up having to reinstall the factory 02 due to a standing cell because the factory O2 heater circuit had an open.
So I pull the charge pipe to install the 02 and low and behold my new 42DD had come loose and was hanging. I know I had torqued the crap out of these so the only way I can figure that they came loose was when I had the muffler shop fab a 3" all the way back they must have loosened these and not torqued them back down. I hooked it back up and torqued them back down but forgot to check the alignment, now my DP/Exhaust is hitting. Later today I'll go through the pain of adjusting it.
On other notes I replaced the hose feeding my suction pump that was blown causing a major boost leak; however, after replacing I now have an incorrect flow to my secondary air system and I believe I still have a small boost leak. I can't find it so I'm at the dealership now using their wi-fi as they smoke it. Once this is done, I can go home, adjust the exhaust, hook up my tow bar / trailer and load up for the track.
1st track run for me since my new 3" exhaust and DEFCON 1+. Should be fun, Anyone else going to MSR this weekend???

hopefully they can find the prob and more hopefully they have the part >
hate to bum you but keep your fingers crossed - they seem, understandably, to need to order everything. On the good side, they now apparently have two of the very best audi techs in Austin.

A wide band O2 sensor isn't needed
On the Bosch ME7 engine management system the range of reading on the O2 sensors is limited by the programing in the ECU. The factory O2 sensors will read a much wider band then the computer will accept. With our stage 2+ software we simply broaden the acceptable range of reading in the ECU and have had great success.

They found where I crossed up a couple vacumn lines when I pulled the intake...
However, that wasn't the only problem. later that evening when I dropped the trailer off at the track I pushed it a little on the way to the hotel and got a knock sensor and backfire. Vagcom cylinder 1. Next morning I skipped run one and was at the dealer when they opened. The one spare item I wasn't carrying was a coil pack. Needless to say coil pack in and three great runs on the track today.
