So since last week my N54 won't go out of the safety map.
I completed my single turbo project a few weeks ago and started getting O2 related codes and JB4 safety map, so i replaced them with NTK O2 sensors.
Problem is, that my JB4 still goes into safety map the moment i turn it on. (Even with the engine off)
JB4 tells me it's a safety code 5 = Fuel trim variance.
I already flashed it back to stock to see if it's tune related, but still occurs when i turn on the JB4.
Does this mean my injectors are probably done?
Car still has a stock LPFP and no port injection, only on pump + wastegate spring so far with a BMS backend flash.
Thanks.

Thanks, already mailed him few days ago and told him i'd make some WOT logs.
At idle and low load everything seems fine..
I'm just waiting for a friend to show up one of these days so we can check out my injector values and things.

Ever find the answer?
No, haven't been looking for it either.
Still have to order index 12's, kind of a expensive "maybe".
And weather has been really bad here so didn't have a opportunity to log WOT..
Can't find any similar problem on the internet regarding the "Last safety 5, fuel trim variance".
I just find it weird that it seems to be stored inside the JB4. Like if it's reading some kind of error code automaticly triggering safety map with the engine off for more than a week.
