Just re-read your thread. Wonder if it is an actual TDI product fault or if your car was just protecting itself, sensed knock or possibly detonation and pulled timing and boost and dumped a bunch of fuel to cool things off.
There is no free lunch out there, 2.0 litre engine (non-race car internal build), with pretty high compression, smaller turbo to bring boost on early, running 95-98 octane in high ambient temperatures and high boost (20 psi), fairly lean for good gas mileage, has to be on the brink for long term reliability at 255 BHP and 295 TQ.
One thing that was interesting is that the stock wheel HP was 240 on a supposedly low reading dyno, means the stock real BHP is more than the advertised 255, no?
