Hi Guys My 1.8 BJX is currently having boost surge issues (I Think). When the cars all warmed up and i plant my right foot on the throttle, the boost rises and then drops off, and building up again and drops off. The whole time the car will still accelerate however the car does feel like this its surging forward and then back as the boost builds and drops off. Is this the Recirculating Diverter Valve? Which I believe is the original (52k on the car) If so do I need to replace this with the valve used on the Audi's? Cheers JT

No worries guys all sorted now ????????

P.S Such as routing the vacuum line with the bonnet release.

Hi all, I know it's not a skoda but thought it can't be much different than other 1.8t's I've seen many guides about installing a boost gauge in a Polo 9n3 GTI, however a lot of the guides show the vacuum pipe being routed through the grommet on the passenger side of the car, and then under the dash to the drivers side. Is there a place that the vacuum line can be routed so that it comes out by the drivers side pedals, which to me seems more logical than routing the vacuum line halfway round the engine bag and cabin. Cheers James

Hi all, As per the title says, has anyone used "Performance driven" in Taunton for a revo remap? Wanting a Revo remap for my 1.8T and they are local ish to me. Cheers JT

All sorted now and sounds fantastic under boost! Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I bought a k&n induction kit for my 9n3 gti, it's the one made specifically for my car, however I'm having trouble fitting it! Part of the installation is to put the filter adapter onto the maf, however the maf is about a mm to big for the adapter, should I get some sand paper and remove a small amount of rubber to make it fit? Or is there another way as its only a mm preventing it fitting! Cheers Ramjam

Removed the Twin USB Port and its solved the issue, cheap eBay purchases from china are not always the best after all.

I have exactly that currently in the mobile charger, one from ebay also! ill remove it and try this again.

Hi guys My cars radio reception is fine in most areas, however is weaker in some but can still be listened to, but here's the issue. When the cars ignition is switch on, those areas in which the signal is weaker become unbearable. Being an aircraft electrician i know of some of the key issues with radio reception, however aircraft's differ from cars so im hoping you guys could know whats causing the issue. Should i test to ensure that when the ignition is on, im still getting 12V into the radio, as well as ensuring ive got a good ground. Could i be picking up interference from the alternator? Would a signal booster or interference suppressor help the issue. Cheers

Hi guys has anyone ordered from HEKO before, and when i say that i mean directly from their website. I placed an order and am yet to pay, however i have a feeling that they do not post to the UK. Am i right on this one? Cheers James

Cheers bud, ill have a read

Think superchips is the way to go then with their tame and driveable map, plus 30bhp and 30nm odd of torque is gonna be noticable, Cheers for the advice bud.

Cheers for the replies, i did wonder that but could really find a section it could go in, what torque figures did you get? as its not the BHP that kills the engine its the torque?

Someones gotta know surly? :(
