« on: 02 October 2011, 17:45 »
hi all got a mk4 1.8t its standard as far as i know just a force feed induction long tube down to near side bottom vent with big filter car doesent seem to rev right has a delay like so     foot down .. power so its a highly noticeable bog/ delay just woundering if anyone else has had this sound like something a cheap induction would do ? runs okay when its going took down a (private road ;) ) and went okay 100 in 3rd so not massivly under power dont think just bought a boost gauge to have a look if its running correct boost standard around 7-8 psi i THINK so iv read on here . or im not sure if could be a boost leak ???? any advise ? cheers

I know it sounds silly, but have you checked what the filter on the end of the induction pipe is like? May be dirty or bunged up with crap.

MAF i recon

or the induction kit is not helping, I have heard they can lead to flat spots.

Longer the tube, the less the throttle response.

Noticed this alot when mine was down by the grill!

Put Cone straight onto MAF and see if theres any difference, i bet 99% you will.

Chop your tube down abit and leave the cone next to the battery..
