b58 codes

SO have had an issue with the car lately. I'm running MHD stage 2+, with CTS high flow cats, BMW intake AND the TU1 pump. I had the FTP intake pipe but removed as i was having codes.

I cant seem to get rid of these codes and the car has been put to stock almost.
118001 - mixture control: fuel-air mixture too lean
118002 - mixture control: fuel-air mixture too rich
20E120 - crankcase ventilation, vent hose: not connected/ faulty

i have replaced the entire intake system to stock, replace the crankcase hose as per Kern417 videos. replaced the primary O2 sensor, MAF sensor and still having issues. Gave it to BMW and they are going through it and coming up blank too. The car is running stock (MHD completely removed) currently, with stock intakes. the downpipe is still a high flow cat but that should not be causing these issues. (have the cat code but we expect that)

what else can we try? not much else left.

So update. Talked to my dealer and they are replacing the valve cover as the pcv is built onto it as I am still getting the crankcase error.

Let's see what happens.

Did replacing the valve cover fix the issue? How much did the dealer charge for it?

Also interested to see what's the final diagnosis and fix. I have similar setup, just VRSF hi-flow cat, everything else being the same. Though I have no codes so far, I'd be expecting some sort of PCV issue as the car's getting close to 60k right now and having owned several later gen BMW's I come to mental readiness with the built-in PCV's if they go wrong. Hopefully there's nothing else besides the valvecover. Subb'd for knowledge.

So update. Valve cover DID NOT resolve the issue. Lean codes, mixture codes. Dealer is seeing what they can try next. So much has been replaced.

Dealer thinking they will try replacing the fuel pump. I had replaced the fuel pump with the tu1 unit. Maybe that's faulty, not sure. they will let me know this week.

HPFP was replaced and so far, no more codes. Just a CAT code but i have high flow cats so expected. Running car totally stock for now. The Head tech has been driving the car to ensure no codes come up. Dealer service team has been awesome for me to troubleshoot it all. If all stays clear, i get it back next week. I'll run it stock for maybe another week before i apply MHD again.

That's great news! Let's see what MHD does with the new pump. Sub'd again.

So, to your OG post, you were having the codes on the TU Pump, with the Stage 2+ tune? Then changed out the TU pump with a new TU pump, and no errors?

The dealer did all that work under warranty with MHD? Did they know you were tuned?
