No that would have been a very obvious problem. Most likely it would of thrown a mis fire code as well.
The car is running 100 times better right now.
New clutch/flywheel scheduled to arrive this week then off to get the transmission rebuilt and the LSD put in.
You'd be surprised at what failing ignition coils can cause besides misfires.
My next guess is either your TPS, clogged fuel filter/dying fuel pump or dying injector(s). I have a subscrition to ALl Data if you need me to look up any test methods for you.

I'll need to make my own gaskets as it looks like the manifold to wastegate connection is on an angle.

I'm stumped my car has been running some what poorly for a while and only recently I've got this code.
I get horrible gas mileage which is only getting worse it seems. Barely making 300kms a tank even if I baby it.
The car does some funny things when I'm stopped if I rev the motor just a tiny bit the AFR goes to 11.0 then jumps back 15.5 it also doesn't seem to stay as close to 14.7 as it used to I've seen it randomly at idle go way past 16 to -- on the gauge. Not all the time but it seems as though it's a struggle to keep it at 14.7
I'm getting a fuel pressure gauge and a compression tester tomorrow because I can't think of what else I could do, accepting all ideas.
I'm thinking it might be the fuel pump it was used when I got it.
Idle RPM is fine and Vacuum at idle is fine no bounching needles.
So far I've replaced/checked
02 Sensor
MAF
Spark Plugs
Checked for Exhaust Leaks
Checked Injector Resitance
Checked all vacuum lines including brake booster lines and check valve.
Boost Leak tested no leaks
