The file which I'm currently running in my 1.8t a4 is throwing an error for MAF signal to high intermittent. It only happens when bringing the car through its range or building boost in a high gear low revs. The traction control light come on when it logged the condition, that's how I know.
My guy who tuned the file says that the upper boost limit needs raised, but I think he has done this a few times already and it's still coming up.
Can someone give me there opinion if this is tuning related or do I need to start looking for a fault relating to the MAF.
Basically I'm running a tt/s3 225 setup.....

still got this maf fault and overboost, car is remapped so im guessing it is something to do with that.
16618 - Boost Pressure Regulation
            P0234 - 001 - Limit Exceeded (Overboost Condition) - Intermittent
16487 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)
            P0103 - 001 - Signal too High - Intermittent

LTFT'S -0.4 & -12.5

WHAT WOULD NEED ADJUSTED TO STOP THESE CODES BEING THROWN AND STOP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO LIMP.

That log looks fine. You'll have to get a log of the car when it actually goes limp.

Yes that log is fine to the thanks of Dan's work.
Log of when it actually is in limp will just show no boost. It will follow.

If the  Maf is older than 5 years old or a cheap aftermarket MAF , you will get random fault codes. A cone air filter close to the Maf will cause high readings as well. You might not have a software issue rather a physical problem.

It has been adjusted in just about everway i can and it still throws the error.

Its the same code you get if you dont increase mlmax but yet to find it on the a4 files. I have spoken with DD about this directly and still at a stump..

Whats odd is that adjusting dmx just either speeds or slows the rate the mil light comes on/off..
I thought maybe becuase the maps strangly defined in the bfb ols that it could be related but agsin various versions all cause the same problem, although never hit limp mode

Will I was just about to make my first edit but seams you have tried everything already so I'll leave it alone, until you can find out the solution.
Really I don't know if it's the maf to high  or upper boost limit code putting it into limp because both are being reported at the same time.

I will get a log done on my way to work 2night showing when the limp occurs.

Thanks for the info.

It'll be the upper boost limit, Maf signal too high won't throw boost at least on mine it didn't. I got the same codes but no limp which makes it more confusing..

also log ps_w, msdk_w

Stupid question: is it possible to throw a MAF code if msdk_w is far enough off from actual MAF readings?

Here is the log, something tells me its boost putting it into limp because the traction light did not come up like it usually does and then go off again.

log4 was the 3rd gear run  and the other one from dead stop when in limp.

thanks
