Hey guys i have a 2.0 tfsi leon sport running a stage 3 bluefin with k04 and hardware to suit auto tech internals and a dw65v in tank pump I'm having an issue where around 5000rpm and above the throttle is cutting on and off (can be seen in logs) like fuel cut! I've tried many remedies even swapping a suspected fuel thrust sensor on the HPFP new 6.4 bar fuel filter and still the problem remains ill attach most recent logs any ideas would be very very grateful!!!! thanks guys! Oliver

Get someone with vagcom monitor misfires in your cylinders on wot you will see a particular cylinder will misfire multiple times if this happens it should be a faulty inj on that cylinder worth a check first, if it is its four hours labour if your changing one or all four.

HI manhota thanks for your reply i have vagcom and show no misfires at these rpms or at all with logs, I've replaced new plugs some ngk 7irex can't fully remember the plug number =[ and R8 coils packs also running the S3 injectors that came with the second hand k04 kit the thing that gets me is the requested boost drops from 2250mbar to 650mbar and back up and down ect at the same revs I'm feeling these cuts but I'm not sure if its this causing the cuts or ecu is telling the boost to shut off because of another fault? should also mention the throttle body is opening closing at the same time as these cuts I'm assuming this is throttle intervention to act as another failsafe

hey sorry for late reply been having internet issues =[ yep new injector seals used checked mad and mad readings look ok crank sensor? not a clue and i have replaced the thrust sensor for fuel on the side of the high pressure pump also intake pump nope no oil residue this is not a misfire problem its an ecu intervention closing the throttle and reducing boost pressure bit of an update though when i run 50/50 water meth the problem reduces massively! but still noticeable I'm wondering if my eBay S3 intercooler isn't up to the job? i got bluefin to up the duty cycle of the low pressure pump and now it seems instead of it coming in around 5250rpm its coming in closer to 6000 I'm guessing the water meth is decreasing knock and bring timing back down but I'm at wits end haha thanks again!!!!
