remember him saying you drove off without yours. good of him to mail it to you. That new heat shield seems better as well with its new plastic rim where the filter goes through!

yes much better, the old one was digging into and chaffing the aluminium part of the filter, so he sent me a new filter too :happy2:, so I have a spare to swop straight over instead of cleaning. Can then clean the dirty filter at my leisure and put back on the self for next time :smiley:

Has anyone else checked their fuel trims on block 032 of VCDS after fitting the ITG?

Janner_Sy:

Fuel trims show the amount of adjustment the ecu is having to make to correct the cars fueling. They are displayed as a percentage, the nearer the fuel trims are to 0% the better, as this means little adjustment is needed. There are many factors that can result in unhealthy fuel trims such as boost and vac leaks or faulty sensors etc. An incorrectly scaled maf housing can also result in this as it will cause the maf to misread the amount of airflow that is being injested into the engine. Of course this shouldn't be a factor with the ITG as it has a correctly scaled maf housing unlinke many other aftermarket cai's available on the market.

Here is a more in depth explanation on fuel trims: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/fuel-trim.html

The reason i asked is because my long term fuel trims are showing up to +7% since fitting the ITG, but as i mentioned above this may be caused by one of many things.
