what year is your tsi

well to me it sounds like an air gas ratio is not right..only thing i can say is my car i put aftermarket manifold and down pipe deleted the cat and ran it straight back to muffler and my headers o2 port was too high so it was rough idle problem. i welded holes shut and put o2 sensor back in...

what engine u runing 4g63

so first o2 sensor is for air and gas regerlation it tells your egr how much air and fule that goes in to the cyclenders.. seconde 02 port is nothing relly mine dosent work either

but is factory spot of 02 port in diffrent spot as port on aftermarket exsauste

if u have a aftermarket down pipe it can be the spot were the o2sensor is at.
