    Hey guys currently ive been having some problems it started off as my mpg went from 17 to about 14 for no apparent reason. I did get a check engine light for the upstream o2 sensor having a slow response but then the light went out on its own. While i was trying to figure out the bad mpg problem i started notice some occasional idle surges by about 500rpm while in park and also i was putting out about 6.5lbs of boost with my top swap on a stock pulley and when i tested it right now via torque pro i peaked at 5. Any thoughts?

    check your LTFT's, if you have a vacuum leak, they will be highly positive like 16.4

    Status update i was logging some data using torque pro and noticed im now getting 3 degrees of kr when before i had none. And also my fuel trims are both locking in at 0 as if they have not learned yet although i have not reset my trims or taken out the battery anytime recently
