Nice lonewolf!! I bet it sounds good at 7k rpm!

FWIW: VW dealer has told me that a replacement Steering Angle Sensor is the best part of $700! Eeeek!
Lucky I got dealer warranty!!!!!

Idle was smooth, throttle blips ok, took her for a spin (where previously it had chuckled a CEL and died) and....

IT FREAKING WORKS!
Couldnt believe it, but it runs perfectly, checked for codes after a quick thrash (to test out the 7200rpm rev limiter

) and no codes at all!
Going to give it some KM's over the next few days, and if all good will go back on the dyno.

To be honest, it feels a fair bit quicker, and less throttle lag when getting on and off the throttle.
Fingers crossed it stays working.

Good result!!!!!!
