I'd still point to the "new" TB. As you didn't have this problem before did you? So probability swings towards that as you should chase that as your first port of call.

I assume we are talking GTI? If so, DO NOT take any advice from whoever told you to clean the turbo vanes  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :signLOL:

Don't just 'plug it in' for a generic fault code scan.... Get it on a proper tool like VCDS and start looking at the live data. You can see exactly what the throttle body is doing just by looking at this data. A fault code scan alone is useless half of the time

Throttle body wires! I had my throttle body replaced by VW under warranty recently same issue booked it back in and advised me it's the throttle body wires this time, my warranty doesn't cover wires apparently so there going to replace as a gesture of good will because I have a service pack with them which is great! But check those wires first as they tend to fall short especially if your on stage 1

That's not a solution though mate. its only a matter of time before it comes back.

As for the maf sensor..... Id imagine  it would be a loss of signal from the intake to the intake manifold. was the throttle body cleaned before installed? Check wires as they ca get hot and brittle.
