So, ive gotten my BEGi S1 installed and the car starts. I also put in 460cc injectors. However, my wideband is reading around 4:1 AFR. Is this even possible or should i be tracking down problems with the wideband? It was reading like this BEFORE i did the turbo install and put the injectors in. So now that im typing this im leaning more towards a setting problem. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

I don't think it would run. IF it did you would have fuel pouring out of your exhaust.
Sounds like you need to check your wb / wiring.

yeah, i will have to hook my laptop up to the wideband to see what it says. That way i can find out of it is a MS problem or a wideband problem. Oh, this HAS worked before. It worked for several thousand miles. It stopped working after i had the battery unhooked and i was trying to put in 460cc injectors that i found out didnt work anyway. Could raw fuel on the wideband hurt it?

its only raw fuel on a VERY sensitive sensor, whats the worse that could happen?

Which wideband do you have? Most won't even read that low.

sorry, its the LC-1, i shouldve said that. anyway, i went in and reset all the settings on the wb to factory defaults. Now it is reading 7.4:1 all the time. Im guessing that means that im not getting any voltage from it since that is what 0v is set to.

your lc1 config is wrong
take sensor out exhaust and recalibrate at a start

lol. if you're running at 4:1, change your oil soon. Wash down the cylinders, scour the walls, and spin a bearing.

okay, now the lc-1 stays in warmup mode forever. I let it go for around 10-15 minutes and it was still blinking about 2x per second. Does this mean i have a bad sensor?

LOL, another thread about crappy a LC-1. do what i did, sell it and buy a AEM. i am still rocking the same sensor it came with and have ZERO problems, works perfect every time.

+1 on the AEM

Pretty sure the AEM and LC-1 use exactly the same sensor anyway.

Cars usually stall at 9:1. Are you sure the gauge is not reading in Lambda mode? My XD-16 can, but i am not sure about the DB gauges. Either way, a recalibration is probably in order. You need to do it after the car has sat all night though.

o.e.boost

im stuck with this crappy lc-1 too...same deal...7:4 and it will change occasionally...i pulled the sensor out to calibrate but it blinked forever!!!...then i plugged it in again and same thing...i just dont know whats up?...

I got an LC 1 and it also gave me grief

I sorted thr grounds out and that helped and then I sorted out that "little plug" the 2.5mm ear phone type jack
if you got bad grounds or inconsistent grounds or a ground that other devices use the lc 1 is way to sensitive to problems on grounds in my view
the actual sensor is hardly ever the cause of the problems - that little ear phone style terminator is a pain and half the time its plugged into the wrong connection !
read the lc 1 instructions I did and it made a difference the aem is a pleasure in comparision - I am not an instructions kinda guy and I dont think any of us are

If you think it's your sensor, you might try a new one. VW dealer will sell you one, they run about $70-80, depending on how nice you are.. The part number is listed on Innovate's forum.

ive done the open air calibration but i will redo it along with a heater calibration and see where that takes me. I wont be able to do it until the weekend though, work+school=no free time during the week.

Thanks for the help!

Yes and no... they're both Bosch LSU sensors, but they used different connectors.

do you have the black wire grounded?
