My gti 16v feel flat until 5500rpm then seems 2get a power boost, is this normal?? Seems to be since i drilled my airbox as shown on here or is that just me thinkin that lol
-
Please, dont every1 answer at once lol ;-)
-
Mine just feels slow everywhere, lol.
Can't see it being anything to do with the airbox mod... if anything it should let more air in which would help at high RPM..?*
*Statement based on nothing other than hazy 9am thinking.

Check/clear throtel boddy seems to help everyone else with this. Could also check Spark Plugs for crud of them :)

Should have bought an 8v then, it's all about useable torque :wink: :lipsrsealed: :grin:
I'll get my coat......

Hmm duz that mean 8v are betta than 16v :-} im confused abowt that lol
-
My 16 valve is good 2000 all the way to redline. (Doesn't happen a lot) mine picks up even more at about 5
-
my 16v picks up around 3000rpm then goes mental all way round to redline.....
-
Yeh mine only really picks up at about 3500rpm. If you're not used to driving cars you have to rev the tits off to get anywhere (VW valvers) they do seem a bit slow.

I wouldnt say it was slow but just seems to get a boost at 6k rpm, supose al just hav t rev the tits off it then lol
-
a nice big cold air feed stright into the undrilled box gave me a bit more poke lower in the rev range, coupeld with some v-power had i had a smile on my face the afternoon i fitted it :grin:
-

Mine is the same..... I spend most of the day driving a Caddy TDI where there is nothing after 3000rpm, then take the Golf out for a bit of fun and spend the whole time in the wrong gear :laugh:
-
4-cyl BMW's are the same, 2.5K then it feels like a turbo has cut in. :grin:
-
My 16v is from 3500 onwards, all the way to the limiter.
