I dont think the 1.8T engine likes the filters with oil in. They need to be dry or they dont run properly. If you do a search on here it's probably been mentioned before?

Correct-a-mondo.  Green should do the trick for a replacement element.

Just get you re-map done last to optimise all the mods. :wink:
