2000 passat 1.8t engine code ATW
So its starting to warm up and i was getting the car ready for its first autocross . i changed alot of parts and added some others the only thing that changed on the engine was the stock air box went back in, new plugs, and SAIP deleted ans blocked off plate added. other than that it hasnt changed any, mods on the engine are APR chip, dahlback DV, DV relocation, ATP testpipe, milltek exhaust, green air filter. it ran great all winter and even last summer, but i took out the old intake i had and put back in the stock and now it is running more boost, spikes to 21 with the stock air box only 18 with the intake. not sure what to do i dont wanna cap the boost with a controller that will be a last resort i like the spike it will be great for auto-x. i've checked it with the vag fueling, timing, and knock are good. but it just feels like its getting to much of a boost spike and than it goes limp. i think its time for a different MAP sensor up it to a 3 bar sensor and see what that gets me. any imput would be nice.
