waynos 0 Posted July 2, 2009 that is looking sweet! how comes you have changed the throttle body? what was wrong with the old one? Will it need recalibrating on the ecu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20vturbo 0 Posted July 2, 2009 the old agu throttle body is 2" where as the abf one is 3" so it will flow more air :thumbleft: i havent talked to qpeng about it yet so im not sure if the ecu will need re-calibrating Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waynos 0 Posted July 2, 2009 i see! i think it will need recalibrating, i had a mk3 8v one to start with but ben @ qpeng said it wouldnt work unless the ecu was recalibrated. Are you selling the old one? i could do with one as my one is ugly lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20vturbo 0 Posted July 2, 2009 sorry ive already sold the old one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Nice work fella 8) As for the throttle, think its more to do with the throttle position switch and connector that needs to be matched on the ecu & loom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20vturbo 0 Posted July 2, 2009 i have three or four other looms so ill put the right conector on the loom and go from there. its getting custom mapped on a rolling road so if i do need to adjust anything it can be done then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine needs a remap as well TBH, the generic qpeng map is good to get going with but it defo needs a remap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

20vturbo 0 Posted July 3, 2009 when people put on performance intake manifolds too flow more air they usually dont bother doing any headwork beacuse the 12 intake valves seem to more than able to handle the extra air flow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
