i don`t know what cahnges you have to your car, but when i did mine i have an kn flat air filter and stock pipe and give me more tq and high mpg. i change the exhaust (see other treads) and in a4 mod was laisy , now i left only the mufflers change and air filter kn and i recode trans with 00012 (sport mode) and i get good response from trottle , mpg is good and more accurate.
you probably have to do your maintenance , tune-up before playing with codes ( 3 stage seafoam , sparkplugs , air filter, oil change , fuel filter)
