Hello, I have a 95 Tsi AWD and I just put in a different throttle body on my car. Everything seemed fine, except when I go full open throttle, it runs super rich and limits the rmps to 6k and seems to choke. Is it possible that the tps was adjusted and is off? or something else?
 
i have owned my car for over a year and has never seen on my foot... over 5k RPMS..
Sounds like a boost leak to me though.

what throttle body? a 1g throttle body?

what mods are in the car??EDIT I just saw your mods list
 
I have a PLX Wideband. So it shows me running rich.
You think it might be a leak? I'll do a test tomorrow I hope. Maybe I didn't tighten something enough

And I'm pretty sure its just the normal 2g. It was different than mine, because I needed the IAC for my old one, but the one I was buying wouldn't fit, so he gave me the whole throttle body.
 
Alright, problem is fixed.
There was a clamp that had a stripped nut that wasn't tight at all. I also adjusted the tps. It was probably mostly the leak though. Thanks guys.
