I just bought a 95 TSI AWD as the daily driver.. The werid thing is.. I took off the inake and what not to clean it all out and cut the can up.. I forgot to plug the maf back in and the car ran fine if not better.. What are the ods of this?

I'm not saying your wrong my friend is making 387AWHP on a S16g Clipped. The car has been fine for 8,000 miles on 28lbs of boost.

Yeah I'm stumped as well!

Hes running 14b on like 14-15 psi i know hes hitting fuel cut.. Im running 16g at 18 psi! no fuel cut!

Well installed the test pipe and great news. Performance is pretty much back. Its a little louder but not too much sounds good laying in some boost :) :) Here is a question i have got to ask.. My friend has a 95 TSI AWD, the thing is he really has nothing done but 3 inch exhaust and boost...

Plugs are like new less then 300 miles on them, Along with new wires. there gapped at 0.27

Well the past couple days my cars performance hasent seemed to be at its best. Boggs a bit in the lower RPMs and feels like its losing power on the side note header is cherry after driving. So with that being said Im going to be installing a test pipe, I was wondering if thats going to make my...

You've all made good points, My goal is to have a decent amount of power but yet not have to worry about it starting or giving me alot of problems. Here is what I've gatherd so far, Eagle Rods, Wiesico Pistons, get the block decked honed and bored MLS head gasket. As far as head im going to go...

Well I will ###### just stick with the 16g for a while then upgrade after the build, Im just trying to get a decent ammout of power but yet still maintain some reliabliity!

Well after some weeks researching my options I've decided to rebuild/build my current motor in the car! But i was wondering a setup i Should do like for exampleHead: Titanium lifters, blah blah You can fill in the restBottem end, eagle rods and wiesico pistonsGaskets i plan on going...

Well this weekend im going to be installing my FMIC and MAFT set up with new intake piping and semi cold air intake.. So my question is this.. What do i do with the stock plug left from the stock maf??

I like the motor forsure, Im more of an oem kinda guy i just like the little stuff clear corners, lowering, maybe debadging, no body kits for me lol.

Well I've heard alot about strokers, So i decided to go with one for the torque and less spool up times..and just all around more power.

This will be a 7k setup but ill smoke some of my friends dads vipers and what not haha, Once i make the order for my motor im going to send my tranny out for rebuild and double syncros.. Im not sure what kinda power will be pushing out of this setup.. maybe close to 5 with a good tune.

Im still taking in concideration this will be drivin in the spring summer and fall months... and see a few track days here and there... lol

After a few hours of browsing through motors i Think im going to go with ffwd 2.3 stroker mated with a fp green turbo.. I think that would be a good setup. as for tuning im still going to go with DSMlink

Yes its a B 16g im running 550 injectors 255 fuel pump aero fpr no tuning device yet. dsm link is in the making.The whole point of me getting this new motor is to be making this power safely, The motor thats in my car right now runs fine and dandy.. This is for future reference like maybe...

Im debating weather to order buschurs stage 2 short block and stage 2 head and get cams and so on so forth.. or order slowboys 2.3 stroker My goals are anywhere from 375-425 whp

Could possibly be clutch master cylnder crawl under the dash and look for any fluid leaking underneath it. Another possiblity could be clutch adjusment, if not them im gonna have to say syncro's

Some of the links do not work.. But im going to go through with all this. I Do have to worry about emssions but oh well ill get exempt with 300 in recipts for emissions stuff lol..

Today i blocked off the green and yellow vaccume lines running the the vaccume port on the thermostat housing.. Now here is the question am i only supposed to block the ones off on the throttle body becasue i see some others leading twords the firewall... What other lines can i eliminate to...

lol to be honest only 1 pro with mine the wastegate actuiator arm but other them that.. they can take a beating.. maybe its 2 out of 5 or vise versa but i guess u never know.

I have no idea either its really werid.. It only likes the 43psi base i would love to find out why.. Im going to invest in injectors soon. somewhere between 6-800-cc include the odd numbers but you know what i mean. Im getting DSM link soon. and next fall complete rebuild BR stage 1 bottom end...

Wow, I wasent even aware of this... If i would have known this i would have went with that my self.

my car is 5 spd.. is it really neccasry the run at the stock psi i have fuel system upgrades 16g turbo all of the supporting mods. I did another boost leak test found another one.. fixed it. didnt help any.

Update: i set the base psi to right around 38 closest i could get it, Then connected it took it for a drive... Well under boost or hard accelation it was decent... but light throttle no way boggs all to hell.. So went back home upped it to 40psi base then it was a little better still bogs a...

well im going out to work on it now.. So ill let you guys no here inna tid bit

Very true.... Your a real smart guy i give you props on that.. here would be a good question if i was running to rich i would have some black smoke or black plugs.. Well this is not the case for me. No smoke and plugs look good. and a correction to what i stated above.. At 16-18psi its running...

Negative. My base psi at idle is 42 with it connected.

Yes, I had 3 boost leaks fixed them all. And yes i used teflon tape on the fittings. Casue i have the liquid filled gauge under the hood and the electric on in the car.

I have an ebay 16g on my car, The only problem i had with it was the wastegate actuator arm was stuck but after i fixed that its been fine.... Deffnitly a good deal if your on a budget!

+1 on that!

Im using the aero one. And as far as problems go this is the best my car has ever ran. thats being completly honest. She doesnt want to run when the fuel pressure is that low.. stumbles on her face and if i blip the throttle it wont rev it will bog when its that low, Now all she does it want to...

Well in my car i have been running 42.5 psi at idle and about 70psi at 18lbs of boost. Werid thing is thats the only way my car likes to run.... so i just want to see what some of you guys are running as far as Fuel/Boost

The only thing i gutted interior wise on my car is the trunk area, just so i acually had some lol. It was fairly simple alot of one time clips.. If you ever want to replace it go to autozone and get the clips 89 cents.

Well im going with the intake and maft and kybs... my buddy wont budge on the fmic price so nvm that lol!

I have a 92 tsi awd with the following mods, 16g turbo, tubular mani, ported 02, 2.5 inch turbo back exhasut with cat, 255 fuel pump, afpr, hacked maf, mbc, boost gauge so on so forth... So what should be my next mods????Full intercooler kit?orNew intake with gm map and maft /w KYB...

Well the car was acting funny this morning i so started messing around with some stuff... first culprit was the fpr i tuned it back to 43 with vaccume off thats the only way the car runs normal, idles fine and gas respoce is exelent, at any other setting it bogs really bad when i give it gas, So...

went out this morning and adjusted the fuel to 37.5 like said.. and the car ran for crap. would barley idle. So i put it back to 43

Its a dust sleeper!!!

Well i know that is kind of stupid but my buddy hooked his logger up for me and my injectors are at 94% DC at 17psi wot and my fuel pressure goes up to about 60 when im in full boost.

Well heres a good question for you guys.... I thought i cured the high rpm miss.....Well its backkkk lol Im running 17si constant and holding it well.... Here and there it will do the high rpm miss... im not to sure whats going on Plugs and Wires have less then 500 miles on them there gapped at...

Well thanks now that i seen that im not so worried casue i was beating on it and it was only the bottom section on the manifold so its just from gettin it lol.

Thats werid.. Concidering i was never running that lean with my stock pump and frp, But now all the sudden im running lean after installing a bigger fuel pump with rewire.. and afpr... How would i just adjust the frp to 37 with vaccume line off?

Well its not big at all like you hear no exhasut up front the only reason i found it was from seafoam.

43 psi i know i have a small small leak betweek o2 housing and turbo

Well today i installed a walbro 255 fuel pump, AFPR, and fuel gauge so on so forth... Well here is my problem. I took it out for a spin beat on her a lil and when i got back i popped the hood to double check some stuff.. well my header was cherry hot litterly.. and i dont think its ever done...

Well, I appriciate all of the help you guys have givin me on this problem and not telling me to use the search icon lol, This problem was werid.. I was bored cleaning my engine bay I cleaned the power streering resivoir opened it BONE DRY! so i went to autozone and got lucas power steering leak...

I use the search icon, Thats the first thing i did to research my problem, and Your right it does help alot on a common problem. Couldent find anyone who had the exact same symtoms as me, So i went ahead and made my own post, Everyone does have a differnt situation and or problem..

So 18-19 i should be good?
