2017 Golf R Manual purchased off the lot brand new at the time. Currently stage 2 as of around early December 2019. Initially went with APR but switched over to 93 EQT Base tune. My mods are as follows:
APR Downpipe, AWE Switchpath exhaust, Cobb SR Intake, Wagner Intercooler, Southbend Clutch Stage 2, 034 Dogbone mount insert. 32k miles currently. Never used any other octane fuel (only 93) and have only went to reputable gas stations. Turbo was never touched and is stock.
I decided to go the custom route with EQT. My first log I sent he noticed the rear O2 sensor reading was throwing off the AFR so he had my disconnect/reconnect, reflash, and send out another log. He then discovered the HPFP was on the weak side and wanted to stay within its limits but that he recommended upgrading so I went with Autotech high pressure fuel pump and waiting to get that installed. When I sent out the next log with the first revision, he noticed my fuel trim levels to be very odd. I did a quick check around the intake and noticed the vacuum line was tucked away and was not connected to the intake. Must of been from when the car was at the shop and was running like that for at least 3k miles. I connected it and resent a log but was still off 13% according to Ed.
I was hoping someone knows or has experienced this and can help me out. Ed said to check for any leaks and if not have the O2 sensor and/or MAF sensor replaced. I really hate to prolong this so I was thinking of just replacing the sensors but then again I don't want to fix something that isn't broken. The HPFP will be upgraded soon so I will have the shop look into it more.
