Default CEL: "P0411 - Secondary Air Injection system incorrect flow detected"

I used a coworkers' OBDII to pull/clear this code, but didn't really know what it meant. My guess would be the O2 sensor?? Secondary Air pump? I cleared the codes, and I drove the car about 20miles and the CEL hasn't reappeared yet....

Default '01? Check the vac hose that goes to the secondary air combi valve

It's a silver cylinder between engine and firewall on passenger side. The vac hose connects on the driver's side.

Default Absolutely. All those stupid vac hoses die b about 70k...

I'm assuming you've already replaced the one that goes from the radiator side of the intake manifold to the N249 valve? And the one that goes to the FPR? If not, replace those too. Also check the one that goes down to the DV, especially where it routes over the alternator, they can get chewed up there.

Default Wouldn't I be losing boost though? I'm still holding @ 19-20psi.

I was kind of ruling out vac lines b/c of that.

Default Not necessarily, because there's a valve between the manifold and that line

It's only used during warmup.
