A few BHP short

[holty]

Had my Mk1 tdi 150 remapped @ ptorque on Monday.Which was awesome.
The car now drives like a bit of a beast.
the only issue I have is that it only made 177bhp & 318lbft Will seemed to think it could be a MAf issue as it was a wee bit low on the old horsies?
Any ideas welcome as to if it could be something else?

Change the MAF?

 

[holty]

Sorry.Wasn't very specific with my post.
I meant any other issues it could be? Or does MAF sound like the culprit?

Could be something simple like air filter or fuel filter, if it hasn't been serviced for a while or MAF as people said. See if you can try a new one but the problem is now you are away from the dyno, it will be hard to see if it's made a credible difference to the power.

That's a nice dollop of torque though mate.

 

[holty]

Thanks for your help folks.I think I'll get the old green cotton filter on the go and change the MAF and see what happens.Maybe go up to see will for a dyno run.And yes,it is quite a dollop of torque!
In the meantime I've got to keep my clutch from exploding
Ps.Any ideas on places to get MAF on the el cheapo?
