just got a speed3 and am plagued by the p2178 and p2188 codes

[Cwspeed3]

the codes popped up 2 days ago and have progressively made the car undrivable. when in 1st and 2nd gear the car feels as if it is missing or bogging down and struggles to get over 1500 rpm and if i get to third gear it will start driving normal ish still feels like its lacking power. today i drove it and it no longer had the bogging down in first and second gear but once it hit 3k rpms it wouldn't build boost and almost felt like i was hitting the rev limiter until i hit 3rd gear and it would start to build boost and pull off like it had before these codes, ive tried reading my fuel trims they arent terrible but the arent great either. i took it to a shop and they blamed my tune and gave it back to me but my tune hasnt changed since i got the car and it was running great before these codes. i got the car with a tune from custom tune from freaktune. the car has CPE nano intake, JBR oil catch can, Grimmspeed ebcs 2 port setup, jbr fmic piping, treadstone tr8 fmic, ngk iridium IX LTR71X-11. so far ive replaced the maf and map based off the forums recommendations but nothing has changed so far. any advice would be helpful just got this car as a daily and now its completely undriveable. i can get data logs pretty easily if needed.

Was running some tests today and found that during my run in first gear i was full pedal on the floor and it wouldn't get over 2k rpm and was struggling to get over 10 mph but i found my wastegate duty at 100% , could this be caused by a faulty ebcs or a boost leak somewhere and could this be causing my codes because my afr is almost nine and kinda explains why it wont accelerate if i have cant build or keep boost and i have this log from today as well flat out in 4th gear just felt lacking in power is there anything im missing here that would explain why its running rich or does it look normal

i have this log from today as well flat out in 4th gear just felt lacking in power and wouldnt pull is there anything im missing here that would explain why its running rich or does it look normal here is idle logs and a log from when it wont accelerate in low gears and maxes out rmp at 2k and a pull from this morning where it drove in second just didnt pull at all anything would help @Enki

Do a boost leak test/smoke test, it sounds like you have a massive vac leak. If the EBCS is not working that would not stop the car from driving/idling well and going WOT. It would just cause issues with boost control.

Will do, would a vac leak be intermittent because sometimes it will pull flawlessly, and sometimes not at all and hit that weird 2k rpm rev limiter and would a boost leak sound like a woosh at all times or boost like the turbo noise Is very apparent

Yes, if it is pulling in a bunch of unmetered air the tune could be going into safety mode and trying to stop you from doing something dumb. I had a similar issue when a buddy of mine deleted his vtcs and forgot to plug the port on the intake manifold. It was not a very big hole but it made the car run like total garbage.

did a leak test and found air leaking from the intake pipe into the turbo, after some research i believe the intake that i have installed on my car currently is just the first part and not the back half into the turbo. it seems as though the connection to the turbo only has one hose clamp and it seems to be slipping off the intake side allowing air out. it had one half inch wide hose clamp on it and i replaced it with a 9/16 wide one and it still seems to be slipping off. does one half inch clamp sound right for a stock intake pipe. cause to me it seems flawed. should i just order the corksport short ram intake or is there something i am missing for the stock one. the photos are with the larger hose clamp and still seems to be slipping off. UPDATE found 3 more leaks ,the intercooler pipe to the throttle body was just loose and leaking like crazy and other hoses just completely loose i think the people who installed the intercooler just botched half of it im gonna check the rest of the hose clamps. but with the ones i found tightened down car is running better then when i bought it afr almost perfect sitting right at 14 and ltft is better boost is building and car is pulling much harder

The size of the house clamp isn't an issue. If it slipping off you either don't have it installed correctly or it is torn

The first picture clearly shows it not fully seated

If you need a new TIP you could just swoop the ebay one. I am not sure if it works with the nano though. As long as you do not mess with the MAF housing size you don't need a tune change.

I feel like it should work with the nano because the nano is currently attached to the stock plastic tip. Since I’m going to be replacing it and having everything off would it make a difference to get a full new intake or would just the tip be good enough.

It depends on what mods you want in the future but if you don't plan on crazy power and just want a little more than stock fun times I would go ebay to get by until you decide to do something else.

You just need to take it all out and inspect it for tears and cracks then reassemble correctly
