driving to the nec yesterday to go to the autosport show (was ****) my car seemed to have went into limp mode several times.

it norm boost's peak 22psi holds 17 to red line.

but was boosting to 9 - 10 psi i had to clear fault codes 17536 it brought up.

so is that limp mode in my car 9-10 psi ?

im running ko3's turbo, stage 2 cc map plus usual other mods

if its killing maf's it should be mounted with some vibration isolation, and not allowed to rattle about. the maf on thar car was tired, it needed another. logs will confirm whats going on with it.

ok thanks mate. ill try cleaning the MAF and then secure the filter. JJ should be sending me a copy through of the vagcom software so if the problem persists ill get the laptop plugged in.

the maf is a new one dan as you can see, it has to be the filter as it sits to low in the wing must be dragging up a lil moist air and thats killing the maf ??

take the metal pipe off mate and just sit the filter in the engine bay ofdf the maf sensor and see if it stops it goin into limp mod.

any other probs u got my number mate, or post on here :)
