I've found induction kits that aren't enclosed will suffer from heat soak. My GTi 6 was gutless at high speed, couldn't even get to the redline in 5th. Refitted the standard airbox with a Green filter = problem solved.

just have the k+n panel filter.
was fine up until a week or so ago.
finding i can hit the limiter in 1st 4 gears,
but not had time to get under and seal that leak yet.It has however become noisier under the drivers seat , so 1st job to attack when i finish wed.
#18: Re: flat spot gti180 Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 7:10 am ---- well, fixed the leak,and at the same time i added some archoil to the fuel.
what a difference.
The car now cleanly pulls straight to the limiter on the 1st 3 gears, and carries on pulling like a train.
Job done.
Thanks for all the advice and replys
