choking 8v gti

[hamza]

hi guys, well after the track day last week i noticed the car starts to choke (the only way i can describe it) around 3k rpm.
Feels like its not getting all the fuel is should, now i can hear the fuel pump priming and there is no issue when in neutral, just under load.

also could anyone describe the rev limiter system to me. I know it had one but now it somewhat does not engage.

does it have the factory catylitic converter? I ask this because I had a similar issue, it wouldn't accelerate, especially going up hill. found that my converter had melted, collapsed.

My car chokes up hills too, and I can actually hear parts of my broken cat rattling around, could this be the problem lol??!

Is this under WOT or partial throttle?

Fuel supply is halfed @ 6,300 IIRC.


EDIT: Fixed the link, I think.

Broken link?

mines does it at half throttle around 3k, haven't heard any rattles from the cat, i know my exhaust is as loud as hell and actually gives me a headache on long drives.

ill take it for a drive tomorrow and sus out as much as possible and report back.

I've got no cat and haven't had this issue. Alternatively maybe get a swirl pot?
