B7RS4, 103,000 miles.
current state: Misfires on 5,8,4,3, random/multiple misfire code P0768.
history:
my car has been running great for a long time. I bought it about 3 years ago. no issues. Good maintenance history. I went to piggie pipes about 12 months ago. It has continually been throwing codes for O2 sensors. Replaced a few, added spacers, still throwing codes. So, its coming time for me to get the thing an Echeck. I couldn’t get the O2 codes to go away, so I figured I’d just buy a set of used standard downpipes and toss them on and swap back after the car gets the OK. right before tossing on the downpipes on cold mornings I would notice the slightest hesitation when driving my daughter to school. didn’t notice it any other time. Only lasted for about 5 minutes and it would go away. no codes thrown. Figured it was just time for a carbon clean.
So, I had my local indy (~1 mile from my house) VW/Audi shop toss on the downpipes and after picking it up, it started having major random misfires. Almost undriveable. really bad. So, I opened her up for maintenance. I did plugs, coils, carbon clean, injector service - clean/seals (replaced one injector that the plastic was busted on), oil, filters (fuel, oil,cabin) - all the good stuff.

After getting everything put back together, I’m still seeing the misfire problems. not anywhere near as bad as it was before, but still there. If I reset the codes, it runs somewhat normally and then goes back into a misfire condition. it seems to cycle through running rough and running semi-OK.
I’ve done some logging. I was reading in another thread about logging 003/103/106 to check the fuel system. I’ve included the details below from a scan and some data.
My assumption is that the downpipes that I bought are bad or plugged or something. my next step is to swap them back on to see if that changes anything. but I thought Id check with you guys to see if there is something else I should be looking at.
