You could disconnect the O2 sensor and see if the problem changes.
Partly because it's only about 200 miles old and also because it does not matter if it's in closed loop or open loop. I only have one bung in the exhaust currently so the O2 is usually unplugged for the UEGO.

Is your bov recirculated?
I had a perfect idle at 15.5:1 and was good everywhere except low load cruise(off boost) it was lean. Recirc fixed it but gave me a leaner idle.
If your o2 is saying youre pig rich it will cut a good bit of fuel until the ecu reads a stoich~ish value. I hate o2 feedback, a good tune doesn't need it(but thats with map tracing)
Does your ecu have a screw ? You can read codes if it does.
Why can you not use consult?
I know.. which is why I am hoping that leads to clues. It's not like it tries to run. It just straight dies. It might be because I have 750's but the car should run with the ECT unplugged.
No, it is not. But I have good vacuum at idle. Now that I think about it, I am at pretty low vacuum during cruise if that helps. However, if it was a BOV leak, I would run rich not lean. In order for it to be lean I need to be registering less air than I am getting, or drawing in air behind the MAF, but given that I have good vaccum at idle the latter is unlikely.
You're right, it doesn't. Which is why mine is pretty much always not in the car. I only have a few month old Bosch unit for diagnostic purposes.
It does have a screw, but only one light. I don't know.. I tried plugging one in and it did not communicate.
