    I hate to say it but there is a lot of blaming and naming and shaming i feel. Concentrate on fixing the issue and not going on about how this is no good or that is useless unless you have facts, like Davemack says tests have been done and proven on this mod. Secondly please dont tar all techs with same brush we dont all blame others, some of us out there are trying to do the right thing. Get the thing checked from scratch before blaming a simple mod man.
    Cheers ( sorry about the rant but i feel the need as there is too many threads wasted going on instead of helping and fixing the issues)

    Jimmy, As per my post I am not blaming nor concentrating on the seat mod to use as a blame for lake as performance. AGAIN I am asking for feedback and reccommendations......for the 2nd time.

    Hopefully I can sort thru this challenge and for the 3rd time I dont believe its thru the intake mod!!!!!!!!!

    vagcom will not find a small boost leak.look for cracks on hoses or a hose that is partially hanging off.try jiggling the hose at the clamp and if it moves or comes off,well there it is.
    is your car still under warrenty?

    Fella firstly take a deep breath im only trying to help and i do enjoy doing so. I wasnt aiming at you in particular. Threads like this sometimes get out of hand and the naming and shaming starts. Being a Tech myself i get my back up when outs are used on the Techs. We are not all doing the wrong thing. Mate ill help you as much as possible hey!!!! I cant stress this enough. there is loads of experience on here. If you were up here i would have it in the shop for sure, easier than fixing on the net. Anyway i hope you have some luck with ya POG.
    Keep us posted and like i say we are here to help.
    Cheers

    Unhappy Update

    I have an Update. I decided I was going to change the stock intake back to the SEAT one today.

    As I was about to install the SEAT intake I noticed I had mutated the intake while installing it the last time and found that I pinched the intake and it now has a small hole in it.

    So thats what would have been the factor for the loss of performance.

    Very dissapointing as Ive thrown $200 out the door.

    Get a piece of black brake duct pipe and use that.

    Under $50 and does the same job.
