Ok the story goes like this...

today my friend and I set out to make his s3 dose. using the information I had found and understood it was easily doable.

pod filter

block off bov plumbing and vac line etc.

it worked perfectly and my mate drove home happy as larry. it wasnt long later that he called me saying his car was behaving strangely.

he explained how it felt "non responsive" when he put his foot down. I told him to bring it back

sure enough after driving the car myself it felt as though the accelerator pedal did nothing, no fuel was getting to the engine and it was exrteemly slow (spluttering hardly accelerating at all) and then suddenly at 3000rpm it would take off rapidly.

needless to say we returned everything back to factory settings bov in place and all wires checked everything looked fine.

a rev of the motor indicated that there was no change.

we reset the ecu still no improvement.

im totally stumped.. I feel bad for my mate.

so if someone anyone can shed some light on the subject it would be great.

thanks.

could it be simply sucking in really hot air now because of the pod filter, or is it much worse than this? perhaps after 3krpm (when driving the car) there is sufficient boost for the car to appear to be moving rapidly?

could be way off the mark, but its just a suggestion.

  • No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I would check for a boost leak or a hose that is in the wrong place or fallen off.
