Recently got a 1g tsi awd (91 talon) when i got it the TPS was bad, no big deal. So after replacing that i noticed whenever the turbo starts to push boost the car feels like its shaking and and lossing power now i know a boost leak test might help but its not that so.

So one day i was reading forums and i say some ppl said it could be the Spark plugs or wires so next morning i went out and took out all the spark plugs they all seemed fine put them back in and it ran great but hour or too later it started the shaking up again so i thought the wires where bad. Now to get to the point my ? is

When i put the TPS in could i set it to .9 and 5.5 - 5.9 i know your suppose to set it at 5 but thats the closest i could get it to 5 with idle being at .9 now because i'm off by that little bit could it being screwing up at Wide open and making the car run to rich or lean and be causing the shaking.

I'm a newb so sorry if all of this doesnt make sense any ?'s please let me know

ALSO i ordered new wires but havent put them in yet so i'm not sure if it is that this just came across my mind so i thought why not put it up on the forums

Thanks

Without any units given it's hard to say what you were doing.

Tell me how you adjusted the TPS?
