2g head swap, now misfire

[eclipsalon]

I had acquired a full 6bolt swap to go into my 96 tsi. After certain foolish actions; the 6bolt head is no more and my 2g is taking its place. Car turns on great but has a horrible misfire when I apply throttle. Been reading that misfire is common without having dsmlink, but it wasn't there before with the full 6bolt swap. The only thing I can think of is now that the "MDP" is coonected again? It sounds exactly like when I forgot to connect the maft once. But its connected now and still controlling the fuel.
Any thoughts on what else I could check would very much be appreciated!

could it possibly have something to do with cam sensor or crank sensor. since you don't have dsmlink.

The MDP doesn't have any affect on how the engine runs.
