    Hi peeps<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />


    On my mk4 1.8tunder acceleration when the turbo kicks in I can feel a small hesitation kind of like a flat spot, any ideas what this could be?


    Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    hi do you have a atmospheric dump vale,or the re-circ type,i had this problem myself after i fitted a atmospheric dump vale so switched back to a uprated forge motorsport re-circ type,if none of this applies to you then i would definatley go for the maf sensor .especially if your dub is chipped or has uprated air filter as this will decrease the life span of the maf sensor and you will probably have to replace every 20k if not usually about 60k-70k on standard if the early 1.8t,hope this helps:)
