Mk5 General Area / Re: K04 Conversion - Do you ever regret it? How is it for daily driving?
« Last post by mjmallia on Today at 08:45:35 am »When accelerating it would sometimes feel like the power was being held back for a second and then return, hot or cold.
Boost would suddenly drop on my gauge and return, and felt like something stuck and then suddenly opened......hard to describe.
I could not figure it out and had worked my way round the entire engine......decided to try the newer Conti TB and it resolved all the issues. smooth power delivery and the car also felt more responsive.
100K on the VDO TB and it was an early one too.
