    Okay in an attempt to get rid of that damn P0171 code I keep throwing I think my O2 is dead. MAF is clean, no vac leaks, and no exhaust leaks what so ever. All that is left is the O2 sensor. Now if I buy one and still throw that code I will be one :grr: dude. Now TopSpeed tuned the car the last time and Doug put about 1-2 gallons of c16 in the car. Is it in any way possible that the c16 killed my front O2?

    Man I am getting so ticked off it isn't funny. Trying to get the car right and all for a retune.

    I wouldn't worry about the front o2 sensor.. 1-2 gallons of c16 will not hurt it. I have run over 50 gallons of c16 through my STI and the front o2 still works perfect.
    When you bring your car here I will take a look at it and if it needs to be replaced I have an o2 sensor here.

    Okay. Would you worry at all about the P0171 code? From what I understand it can only be thrown when in closed loop which is idle/cruising under vac. right? Can you turn the P0171 off permanently if it isn't something to worry about? I noticed the only time it comes on is when I first crank the car up. Never while driving or anything. Also Doug I called Perrin and they want to charge me for a EBCS and then have me send mine back and if it is indeed bad then credit me. Well with the cost of driving to Atlanta and back plus the tune I really can't afford it. It does seem like it is sticking to me. I have the MBC but it boost a lot slower than the EBCS. You have any idea how I maybe can take the EBCS apart and test it? Maybe you can get Tray to call Perrin and convince them as they mentioned to have the tuner call them.
