What about the crappy wiring to the coilpacks. Mine is shot, not much point putting in new coilpacks if the wiring is no good??

have you tried the ignition amp coil mounted and bolted on to the back of the air box. a possible...

spark plugs last done..

best thing you can do regarding a maf, if you have any mate with a 1.8t swop it over. from my experiernce with a quick swop over it never turned out to ever be the mas. silly things like spark plugs..

I'm guessing it can't be the ignition amp coil as its running an induction kit with the cone down near the front vents(is too much air being pushed in a possibility ???)
And it's just had a service so can't see it being the spark plugs  :undecided:
