E85 fuel,getting codes

hey brothers need your help.today i tried to pass emission test but i failed.i have an 8 but with 9 turbo(untuned yet),run on E85,all bolt ons minus intake manifold.got 3 codes p 0134,0171 and 0403. i think 0171 system too lean but i have wide band and i know i never run/idle too lean,code 0134 bad front o2 sensor but i changed it like 6 months ago.now code 0403 that i done know.
2 years ago i had same modifications minus 9 turbo and i was running on 93 octane and i passed.i live in Illinois.what do you guys think?

P0134 - Could be a few other things besides a bad O2. Could be leaky Throttle body, could be egr issues.

P0171 - Could be a leak somewhere in your intake plumbing , IC plumbing. I think I go this code after a bad vacuum leak.

P0403 - EGR issues.

Noticing a theme here. Do you still have the EGR system in place?

After searching for a few I think this thread might help you.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/la...401-arg-2.html I think your EGR system is the culprit. And possibly a bad throttle body gasket.
