You will probably need to adjust the fuel mixture, as it will now be too lean. This happened when someone brought a 1300 golf to me a few years back with a k+n induction kit on it. There is a flap on top of the old airbox , the mixture screw sits under that, use a gunston colortune from halford for good results. Good Luck pal  :D

I'm sure the problem is your fuel mixture.
