back in the shop after the car was "studerring " no boost ". I unplugged the air flow sensor and was able to drive to the shop. They found oil in the air filter and apparently spread somewhere else . Not sure where I'd have to ask them again but they strongly recommend going back to stock air filter.

Afe pro dry S not working for me, ever since I went k04 seems like the car is not happy with it. Will give more update later today

Hopefully its nothing serious and you can upgrade to the ECS one like I did! Loving everyminute of it this far! Sounds nasty.

So the problem started after the air filter was installed? That's like blaming the headlights for burning oil. In now way should an air filter cause any issues with blowby on the turbo.

The oil in the air filter caused the MAF to be "dirty" that's why it was throwing the codes. I'm waiting for the stock airfilter and in the meantime I took the car for a ride and push the shiet out of it and no problem

Air filter was installed a while ago, before the k04.
On a different note....Funny thing is that I drove the car super aggressively the day before the issue took place, so I wonder if it's due to that or just a coincidence...
Now the question is can a damage/dirty MAF cause a rough idle

Maybe the turbo hose went loose, it happened to me, that bracket won't hold the hose with all the power. I then installed tclamp

It would have to be disgusting dirty to cause any major issues. Sound like they are blaming it on causing an issue.

VNA, it's interesting that you're having this issue with the aFe dry filter. I remember the day after I installed mine on the stock turbo, I had a HUGE hesitation when I floored it in the morning. I am not sure if the car/turbo was not warmed up, but I never once had it happen on the stock filter. What's also strange is, it's suppose to be a "DRY", so I wonder where the oil is coming from. Now above, you posted that you took it for another drive. Was the second time AFTER they shop cleaned the MAF?

@Dub_prime 8 days and a wake up.

[VNA4]

MAF is disconnected for now from air intake

I would be giddy like a school girl lol.

I have a AFE dry on my car with no issues at all. May try a TBA and see if that helps? Would be pretty important to see how the oil got on the filter, which I would assume would be blow by from the turbo.

I was running an AfE pro dry flow filter and eurocode silicone inlet pipe. After. My K04 install
Never experienced anything like that. I went with the ECS full intake kit shortly after just because. I will say this, after the intake install, the turbo is so much louder. It may be louder than my exhaust. The flow sound is insane and the diverter valve quite loud now. Still running the stock diverter valve . I was shocked at how much the stock I take box muffles and mutes the turbo noise.

U mean the "pschhhhhhhh" noise?

Exactly. The turbo sucking and diverter blower off noise are beyond noticeable now. Wasn't going for either noise at all but I'm beyond happy with the end result. I know it has been mentioned before but I do not experience any of the annoying whistle or intake drone common with the K&N kit. The sound of the intake flows actually interesting.

Just the other day I was at a light, windows half way down and went to take off from the light. 2 cars ahead of me to the right of me a guy has all 4 windows down. When we all accelerated the guy whipped his head around so fast and I saw him say "holy sh!t". For a 4cyl it def sounds very aggressive. Grabs quite a bit of attention. Again, wasn't going for that, only went with an intake to get the most possible out of the K04 upgrade. Def beyond pleased with the end result of everything.

U got a video? Would he nice to hear how it sounds.

I'll try and get a video or 2 tomorrow. I tried capturing the sound of the intake once before but it was difficult while driving .

The Video will definitely not do it justice, I posted one on another thread and did not really sound the same. In real life it is sweet, cant decide which I like better now; my AWE or my ECS intake.

majeerahim, you are totally desensitized to the sound. Of the videos that you post ripping cars in the 1/4, what I remember most, is the incredible turbo noises. Truthfully, it sounds like a damn jet taking off when you launch!

[OzeyeruZ]

Yea Majer! You are so insensitive now to your intake! Lol. Looking back your car does sound like a jet taking off!.

Used APR KO4 kit has arrived! 2" heat wrap (for the HFC), 1" heat wrap (to try on the manifold), and some colder plugs are on the way. Trying hard to convince myself I don't need a W/M kit. Planning on just upgrading my APR software for $500 but seriously considering Maestro as well, seems like a lot more tunability for not a lot more $$.

[OzeyeruZ]

Don't forget to claim your sarcastic Ko4 member #'s once installed.

Now that I have my K04 in, I have the dreaded CEL. From my understanding, software can take care of the issue, but when it comes time to smog, it wont pass. A remedy has been to place an extender on the 2nd O2 sensor to "move" the tip away from the gas stream. This is suppose to get rid of the CEL and allow you to pass smog. Question is, does this really work? Which extenders are you guys running? An straight one, an angled one? My CEL has been on since the K04 went in last Friday and I HATE dash warnings.

You've never driven a modified VW or Audi have you? CELs are life!

I'm only stage 2, but I run a straight spacer on my Spulen HFC. I had it flashed to stock for a couple of days last week and the CEL never came on.

I'm just someone reading through the thread, but do we have a section like the vag - com thread for people who want to get together and use the maestro suite?

Call me lucky, but I've NEVER had a CEL come on when I had my MKV and A3, both were on APR Stage 2+.

[ECDT]

My mk4 gti had a CEL for the better part of 8 years but was always a disconnect the battery, wait a few mins, reconnect and drive for a little bit away from passing inspection
