Ok so I replaced the G247 sensor with the latest revision I could find 06J906051D. You wouldn't believe how tight of a fit it was getting the 27mm wrench behind the intake manifold to get it off. It is a Bosch OEM replacement, however it is a little different from the 06J906051B that it is replacing. The original "B" version was made in Germany and has a black connector, the new one is made in china and has a orange connector. When screwed in the connector is in the reverse position compared to the original (the electrical connector clip is now on the top instead of the bottom).
The new sensor does not help get rid of the P0087 engine code, in fact it introduces a new one :mad0259:. I now get the P0087 and a P119A, for which the description is basically "Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) Malfunction". Just my luck that the replacement is faulty... However this got me thinking that maybe this new senor is not compatible with my vehicle, and I found this thread on the ross-tech forums:

If I am reading this right, is it possible that this newer version simply does not communicate well with my vehicle since it originally had a "B" revision instead of the "D" replacement? Should I have replaced it with a "B" revision instead of the newer "D" revision?
It seems like my next step should be to put the original G247 back on, or replace with a B revision, and then put my old stock HPFP back on and de-tune to stage 2. I am done spending money on this and I just want the CEL to go away.
