30FF code help!

Was on the highway holding 2nd gear around 4k rpm and when I put my foot down to go WOT... my car took a dump!

Got the following codes and I have a feeling that it might be the wastegate actuators (and not a boost leak in the vacuum lines or DV's):

29CF Glow Ignition Cylinder 3 (misfire?) I am changing plugs out this week anyway

30FF Underboost - It has to be the first turbo b/c it affected cyl 3 AND I threw O2 codes for the front bank, both sensors

2C9E & 2C32 - O2 lambda probes pre and post cat

I appreciate the help, if anyone has experienced this similar situation.. what was the issue?

Also, if in fact it IS the wastegate actuator.. what would remedy this? Should I try to check and tighten the flapper arm?

Might be time for VTT stage 2's!

I had the 30FF code. You should do two things.
1. DEFINITELY change your spark plugs and ASAP
2. Check your boost lines, there may be a leak/crack. I had to get all of mine replaced, it was about $400.

word, thanks... I'd prefer it be a line and not the turbo

I had 30ff this spring. All I had to do was get out a screw driver and tighten up all the hose clamps for the intake air that I could reach top side. 30ff gone.

Good to know! I'll definitely try that!
