164031 Exhaust camshaft, electrical: short circuit to ground
120408 Boost pressure control: shutdown due to reaction
It's not saying which bank, so I assume that means bank 1.
Which means, a second faulty sensor rather than faulty harness/loom on bank 2. This is good news
Now the question is, with the inlet cam sensor already replaced on bank 2, and now the exhaust sensor seemingly also dead is it:
A) The task of replacing the intake sensor knocked or damaged the exhaust sensor, killing it or
B) It failed at the same time as the intake sensor, but was being masked by the intake sensor so didn't throw a code or
C) It decided to fail out of pure coincidence.
I'll almost certainly never find out, so looks like I'm in for two sensors rather than one. But, that's better than a new harness/loom for bank 2!
Car's going back in tomorrow for the tech to confirm all of the above and make the fix, then fingers' crossed I should be at the end of this one. Let's see...

keep your eye out.
I personally do maintenance on advanced machinery(fanuc robotics and fanuc controlled cnc's)
anyhow we had a machine at work that had one sensor that blew. Changed it with a new one and 10 minutes later blew that. The wire harness had a short to ground and would blow that sensor. The problem might of been you sensor, but it might be the harness that is killing your sensor, but it could also be a short that happens in the sensor. just odd that the problem persists with 2 different sensors.
