Post by: mjv on 20 May 2008, 08:10

i just had a problem with air mass meter and after some going back n forth to garage and diagnostic place i think its finally sorted by putting a new AMM.

now can anyone tell me that at what RPM does the turbo kicks in ? just wanna make sure that what i am driving is right now ?

MK4 - 1.8 GTI
150 BHP
(53 Reg)
