Found it. It looks ok to me, maybe a little lean I know mine ran a bit richer at stage 1 than that.
Have you seen this thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9196.0.html



lol I created that thread and at first everyone called me a liar, that I was making it up or that it must be an issue with my car. How things have changed!

rs4 valve maybe but im not getting any fuel cuts so cant see it being hpfp?

it sounds like the actual fuel pressure isnt meeting requested, its not a fuel cut!

it's Fuel related, because as the o.p stated at the start of the thread "since installing my Intake"

If your increasing your Air mass, you will increase your fuel requirements!!

It's a fuel related issue....

If you refit the stock intake and no issue, it prooves that's your answer you seek.

His map only calls for 110 bar so installing a rs4 valve would be pointless as the standard one is good for 130 bar.   :smiley:

Having a re-read of the thread, what make of intake are you using as an out of spec maf tubing circumference will lead to problems.

A very fine thread it is too :wink:
I had this problem myself but my tuner sorted it without hardware change, I'm not sure what he did but it certainly stopped it :notworthy:

I have a k&n typhoon and second log shows partial and idle. I would say intake is exactly the same as nuespeed intake

I've got this same issue, running REVO stage 2 TBE, ITG, APR pump on K04. I don't get fuel cuts either. I fitted a Forge Intercooler on the weekend and the issue is better i.e. intermittent not constant and also less pronounced. Anyway I've got the car going into Backdraft tommorrow for it to be looked at with an RS4 valve being fitted if required. So perphaps tommorrow I might have a possible solution.  :popcornsoda:

Any ideas guys and girls?

Putting a induction kit on alters the air flow throught the air mass meter, as diameter & length of pipe is never the same as standard. I'd put the car on a rolling road to see exactly what its doing before changing any parts.

UPDATE: I had the RS4 valve fitted and there was a noticable improvement for me.
