well seems ive picked up a flat spot in the rev range.
car pulls well in gears until i change to 5th at around 115mph then just wont pull anymore.
ive checked plugs, vvt and all seems well.
The car has only done 39k and if FSH.
I cant remember at what revs it was as was on a airfield, as watching out for pot holes,(racing a cc which btw was pretty fast itself)
Have i missed something obvious?
The car has scorpion cat back and k+n panel filter, but is not remapped.
Advice most welcome

forgive me if this sounds silly but have you done the simple things like coils, cleaned map sensor/throttle body, fuel filter etc?

Can try all the above except don't go looking for a fuel filter, it's built into the tank

hi
thanks for all the replys.
yes have checked all the obvious/filters plugs(bosch)/throttle bodie cleaned / vvt was cleaned although other than replacing i would not know how to check it.\even checked for brake binding on each wheel but that seems fine.
The plugs are all sparking well , and the engine is fine until tht speed, i was told the filter was in the tank , but i shall go check when im off work (n/s till tuesday 
Guessing i'll have to strip it all down when i finish tue - just to make sure ive not missed something.
Other than that i'll be seeking a pp200 to check it all
Thnx all

aha
just been out before work to have a quick strip down of the obvious.
i have come across a two way valve that sits in the inlet manifold. one hose to the airbox -valve which has a electric connector-a hose to the manifold.
There is oil in hose the side that goes from the manifold to valve.
Not had a chance to do anything about it as gotta leg it to work real soon, but looks like i gotta strip at least the intake off/fuel rails etc to get a better assesment of it.
could this be my problem?gti 180.

Thats probably just some sort of breather. I know which hose u mean. Im not sure what the electric connection is for. Im sure u can unclip the whole pipe from the inlet end and have a clean. Take a ride down to Norfolk. I dont mind taking a look

Thanks mattymj, but seems ive stumbled across the problem.
Was fitting a polybush lower engine mount and i noticed a lil bit of carbon around the cat exhaust flange.
On inspection , it seems it has been blowing slightly.
Will clean it up next week as ive got to go back to work early this week :/
I can only assume this has effected my problem , but wont know till later.
May well visit you next week if the problem persists, but will pm you 1st ofc
Thanks

Ok no worries. Hope that solves the problem. It's like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes
