@T70_Tsi

on a side note to clear up something kolar mentioned in this thread earlier, it’s not a “psi” that the ecu reads but a calculation of the amount of air…remember that psi is relative it’s the volume of air the ecu determains as too much and cuts fuel/spark

for example a t25@10lbs won’t cause a factory dsm to fuel cut but a 50 trim@10psi would. most factory turbo cars use maf’s pre turbo rather than a map sensor post turbo…they have no idea what kind of pressure the engine is seeing they can only calculate how much air is passing through the maf.

hope that helps

Good point. Only time will tell what actually caused the failure
