You removed the EGR correct? Is the EGR fitting on the plenum sealed off with a gasket under the block-off plate?
A long shot...did you check the intake manifold flanges (upper & lower) for straightness? Could be warped.

jdub;1184283 said:That is THE WAY to find a pirate air leak.
I would use that before you yank the manifold again.
Can you hear your ISCV step open when you shut the motor down?
Might want to check the MAFT programming to be sure it's not screwing with one of your ECU inputs and that it's reading the sensors correctly.
Can you take a pic of the top of your TB? I want to confirm you don't have one of the early versions with the air bypass screw.
jpeek29208;1184319 said:Is it possible to leak air from the injectors grommets on the head? I installed new rc 550s earlier this weekend and noticed when i installed them with new injectors the injectors were a bit loose. Is it possible that air leaks out the sides?
jdub;1184335 said:Yes...that is also a possibility. Did you use a new set of grommets/o-rings (3 pieces per injector)?
The injectors should rotate smoothly when installed with the fuel rail torqued down.
What are you using to control fuel...the MAFT? Is there a provision in it for selecting 550cc injectors? Do you have an AFPR and what is your FP psi?
jpeek29208;1184358 said:im just trying to narrow things down.
jpeek29208 said:Maft pro has no set provision for 550s, you have to adjust the mainscale to get were you need to.
jdub;1184437 said:That's a later model TB...no bypass screw, so that one's out.
What are you using to supply vac to the BVSV on the thermostat housing? Or, have you deleted the charcoal canister too?
See if you can get your hands on a smoke machine to rule out any other vac/air leaks.
