0300/0401 codes! How do i get rid of them??

I got a custom road tune from Al 9 days ago and the following morning, the 0300/0401 showed up. I keep undoing my battery terminals and the 2 codes would reappear within several miles of driving. Had my car for 34000miles and no codes has ever showed up until I got it flashed. How do I get rid of these annoying codes? I really dont want to flash it back to stock because I could never get more than 180miles/tank, now...i'm getting ~250mi/tank after flash, even tho i'm in boost it all the time! Please help

Live with it. It is part of the making ur car faster game. Stock cars have experienced this problem also. Buy a code puller and clear them as needed. Inconsistent gas might also be the culprit along with heat. Was ur car tuned on winter gas or summer gas?; also could be a reason. Good luck and don't panick because u are not alone.

There are too many uncontrollable variables when u get a flash. I really feel that with our gas crunch pump gas is being labled incorrectly and the cheaters are profiting at our cars expense. FWIW Since taking pump gas out of the equation I have not thrown a code for a long time. I feel it is a gas issue but that is just my hypothesis. OUT!

so both of the codes are related then?
Since the car was tuned on may 11/05....thats prolly summer gas?
