There's too many variables to try and diagnose IMO. Different MAF, injectors, chassis. Swap good? No codes? Original flash? What happened to immo? ECU belong to loom?
ive ad this 1.8t swap for about 4 years now. its a complete swap. everything electrical is from a mk4, every sensor, ever plug, ever part of a mk4 motor.... fuel pump, ac, power steering, ambient air temp sensors, dash, cluster.... fuse box...
you get my point, its a mk4 lol
ive had zero issues with this car. been stock, stage 1, 2+ with supporting mods( fmic, tip, exhaust etc..)
none of the harness was cut... infact the only thing mk3 about this car is the taillight and headlight plugs, and the vaccumm pump for the door locks.
...so lets assume that there isnt an issue with the swap.
as i said, i put the 1.8t maf back into its orig. housing.... the only thig diffrent( tha actually mattters here) ia the turbo, downpipe, manifold and injectors..
im not trying to be rude,
but can we assume that i actually have enough sense that i did the swap correctly, and try looking at things that my aid me, instead f telling me chassis issues might be to blame
