new maf but still slow! ideas?
« on: 28 October 2011, 18:22 »
Fitted a new birch maf today hoping it would solve my problems (it is a bit better tbh) but my 1.8t agu is still lacking any poke, it does need a remap (xmas box off gf) but they can't b this slow standard surely!

have you got VAGCOM or no anyone that has, get the MAF logged on a 3rd gear run and itll give you an idea of what power it churnin out.  theres a few post knockin about on how to go about it

youde be supprised.

compared to mk 1.8n/a however it isnt :D

as said get it scaned. could be another fault with it

also ide look at a remap rather than a piggy back box, all the piggy back boxes do is just fool the ecu into putting in more fuel ect. were as a remap will properly adjust your ecu, have a browse in the remap secion

they do mobile maps too so come to your house or work i belive. also if you ask around im sure someone can recomend someone who can map your car well.

and yeah, also could buy a lead for vagcom and that should come with the light version if you ever need it, or get a scanner off ebay thats what i did, comes in use all the time :grin:
