Cutting out in 1st gear before building boost. Using MAFT & SAFCII

[brandnew161]

Here is my problem. When launching the tsi I can not go through the full RPM range in 1st gear without my 680cc injectors flooding the cylinders. My UEGO reads 10.2. The car feels like it hit a wall and i have to shift around 3-4k rpm. However if I baby the car in 1st gear I can go through the RPM range and my air/fuel trims according to the UEGO are just fine.

On a side note, I can boost and go through the full RPM range in every other gear. 1st gear is just giving me trouble and i'm not sure why. I did a boost leak test and I have a pretty decent leak at my knockoff greddy style bov but i already knew that. I ordered a real greddy type s bov from a fellow dsmer and it should be here today. I am also in the market for a logger so bear with me.


My settings: (car is not dyno tuned or anything like that but it boosts safely and my UEGO is giving me good readings throughout)

Here are my settings on the maft:
-all dip switches off
-aux 0
-base 6 (-30%)
-idle 1 (+5%)
-mid D (-15%)
-wot C (-20%)

Here are my Lo settings on the SAFC (TH point starts at 800 rpm and up to 5200):
-17 -19 -19 -12 -9 -18 -18 -18 -20 +9 +12 +16

Here are my HI settings on the SAFC:
-5 -10 -21 -28 -31 -32 -30 -27 -36 -42 -42 -39


Thanks for the help!

You may be seeing too much timing in that area and seeing knock retard. For how much fuel the afc is pulling the timing will be much higher. Did you check the spark plugs for sprinkles?
