Hi mate, how you doing? its been a long time!

just got a quick Q for you still got my Audi A4 1.8T, put a few new mods in it(porsche boxster brakes, hybrid K04 turbo, intercooler, 5bar fuel pressure regulator)

last few weeks cars started to misfire under boost, ive been told its the spark plugs or coil packs? ive done a VAG COM scan and no error codes. im using the DENSO iridium IK22s spark plugs only done 4000miles approx.

any ideas? can i run any diagnostics? dont want to splash out ?200 on 4 coil packs onyl to find out it could be the MAF sensor(common probs & ?180!!!)?

cheers mate.

yeh thats what i was told, i know someone who had a similiar problem and it turned out to be the MAF sensor? think im going to have to replace the coil packs first and see what happens. Thanks Nilrem.
