does this mean that ideally you require the remap to be tweaked to make the most of the extra incoming air

On the Revo code you may be advised to lower the fuel setting to compensate for the increased airflow from the ITG, however the ecu is very clever and will adjust certain perameters appropiately to a certain extent.

....I was advised to lower my Boost setting (not my Fuel setting) on Revo2 (oem fuel pump) to accommodate increased air input so that the ECU wouldn't action protective fuel cuts.

thats interesting. thats something i might have to log when i next get to have a blast on VCDS.
re-reading stevePs first post. he has a value of 1.8% for his fuel trim.
Thanks for the link. Interesting read. im going to have adlve through that site. been tempted with VCDS for a long time

Its deffinately worth the investment mate. Its the best purchase i ever made whilst owning VAG cars.
I noticed Steve's LTFT's were at 1.8% which is very reasonable as factory limits are within +/-12%. My Dbilas with and incorrect size maf housing (before i modified it) showed only slightly higher fuel trims than what i am seeing now with the ITG.

The ecu is continuously making adjustments therefore your fuel trims may change regularly. Having said that after a couple of days your car should have adapted and the fuel trims should settle round about there.
Funny that your seeing pretty much identical LTFT's to me though James which i personally feel are a little high for a properly scaled maf housing. Would be interesting to see what readings other people are getting.
With this aside, i am more than happy with the ITG and certainly wouldn't opt for any other cai given the opportunity agen :smiley:

Having got the dbilas, I'm more than curious on how you modified your MAF housing, having blown the years budget on handling mods, I can't afford a new CAI until February at the earliest...

Lowering the boost setting instead of richening the a/f ratio would make sense on a car with a standard HPFP as your restrited by the amount of fuel pressure that can be delivered. But i was refering to a KO4 Stage 2+ map where an uprated HPFP is required hence the ability to lower the fuel setting to cater for the amount of added air being delivered. On a KO4 Revo Stage 1 car (standard HPFP) with boost set above 6, the likelihood of experiencing a fuel cut is reasonably high therefore with boost set above 6 i personally wouldn't advise fitting a cai anyway, but thats just my opinion.
Anyway...... back on topic :smiley:

I just made a 4 inch long 67mm id sleeve which i inserted inside the maf section and machined a spacer to centalise the maf sensor in the housing. The fuel trims were pretty much bang on then.
GTIjames:
went out for a good long drive today and checked the long term fuel trims after a few hours and they have dropped to 3.9%
so it is certainly improving over the 6.8% it was the other day just after fitting
still very pleased with it, turbo seems to spool up quicker, noise is v nice and when crusing on the motorway in 6th the car feels like its got so much power no need to downshift it just pulls from 70 to ??? so quickly - this has been the most noticeable difference when compared to the dbilas - much more top end power :happy2:
