Hey guys.

This avo the scoob had a bit of a fit, was hoping someone could help me out wit this.

I was in 3rd coming up to 5000rpm, the car choked and hesitated ... i backed off a bit, then accel at half throttle, it was fine.

Tested it for the second time in 3rd under load...same problem.

i recently replaced the AFM.
No codes popping up and none stored in ECU.
Running standard boost with a front mount.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

sounds like you might have to have your throtel body cleaned i had the same problem with a gti turbo but is was fine after that but i could be wrong

clean the boost lines also. check the wastegate solinoid and also clean it. then try that.

Thanks guys.
Im a bit new to this, so how can i locate the wastegate solenoid to give it a clean? MAF cleaner would do the job as well right?

Also when you say clean the boost lines, do u just mean the vac hoses?

Cheers

This time of year, with cooler temps, some scoobs are prone to overboost resulting in fuel cut - that said, if you hit fuel cut it is not a stutter - more of an 'oops...just run into a brick wall' effect...may be worth considering though
