Hello, I have issues with STFT,
I have changed all vacuum hoses, TIP, stock DV, everything is good.
MAF and LAMDA are reading properly, even with MAF unplugged I have the same +25 STFT.

When I start the car STFT is 25%, doing misfires, after some time on idle it will settle down.

Another fault code i get even on idle is

17705 / P1297 / 004759 – Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!).​


When I remove the hose from the PCV that goes to the intake and install a new hose on the intake with a plug to seal the leak, the STFT is around -10%, and there is no fault code 17705 / P1297 / 004759 – Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!).


When I reconnect it as it should be and press the hose from the PCV to the intake with pliers, the STFT starts to drop.
I did suction pump delete, if needed i can get new one and put it all together.

Could all this be problem of PCV Bleeder Valve?
If PCV is bad, suggest replacement parts, i will try to get OEM tomorrow.

Thank you in advance.

Whats the LTFT?
What's the short trims doing when driving?
Short trims are jumping around, going up to 20% and -10%.
LTFT was around 4.8%, but didn't check after the hose from charge pipe to n75 was replaced.

I don't have any boost right now, 0.3bar is max.
When the hose from charge pipe to n75 was leaking, I would get P1297 fault code and limp mode randomly, but the car was overboosting and fluctuating.
Now with hose replaced I can't even try.

I can check for STFT and LTFT in couple hours and will post the results
I have access to ME7LOGGER, just give me list

I'd smoke test it to try and sort the boost issue, then see what happens. No point worrying about STFT etc until you have that sorted.

I Work on my car right now, i disconnected pcv and put new hose to intake with bolt to stop leak, boost is very good, no P1297 code.
I did couple of times with smoke test, there is no leak, if I build more pressure smoke comes out of dipstick
