Explain this then?

ok i have a standard airbox setup on my car.

The current standard air filter panel is getting it bit past it, so i replaced it with another standard filter unit from seat.

For some reason my car has now lost the "pull" it had before when the turbo spools??

Put the old one back in and yes it went back to how it was!!

WTF?

Did you take it out of the plastic bag?







Sorry couldn't resist. I have no helpful suggestions.

As said, check for tears in the old one. Sometimes thes ethings just need to settle down. I've noticed in 2 different 1.8T's that immediately after an oil change, they lack the normal Oomph! Soon comes back though.
