hey guys,
Got the new car out to the track this weekend. First off let me say our friend that supposedly knows alot about VW's set the timing by ear. This was because I read that some rabbits had flywheels with incorrect stock timing marks. OK so we set it by ear. Anyway we get to the trrack and at WOT the rpms stop climbing and the car sounds like its missing. barely revs higher. when only having the one butterfly open the car will rev freely to anywhere you want. (negating timing issue right?) We verified the fuel pressure of system and did all of thevarious pressures your supposed to get. they all checked out fine.

To somewhat correct the problem we adjusted the screw connected to lever on diaphram. We riched it up to the point where it was smoking from being so rich. This somewhat remedied the problem and seemed to rev better.

The EGT's on this last run were in the 1600 degree range. Is this close to the danger zone? Also what kinds of #'s are you guys running.

Why did we have to richen the crap out of it so that it would rev??

Any help is appreciated.
