^what he said. TFSI are direct injection so terracleaning completely bypasses what you need cleaning. Better off doing it yourself by removing the inlet and getting some carbon off. Or paying someone to do it and walnut blasting the carbon off

Mine done 324!!! Was an accumulation of issues tho, carbon build up can be a factor but vacuum faults cause just as much loss in power
