miss the boost

I really miss the 1.1 bars of boost when my car was running well. Ever since the new MAF, my car is like a stock TT 0.6-0.7 bars- that extra kick in the rear of boost is gone!! I am still hoping my theory of possibly having filled with 87 octane gas is the culprit. The upsolute dealer says the new MAF cannot change their ECU software, and the dealer claims they did not do anything to the ECU.
I am still awaiting the cotton Evo filter to arrive to see if the reinstall of the airbox will help gain some boost back.
Please let me have the boost back!! TC

limp mode would throw a light, no?

try unplugging the battery and let it sit for 15 mins. reconnect and see if you still have the same problem.

also check that the MAF plug is properly snapped in..

the problem just may be adaption to the changes made...I hope that the dealer didnt reflash your ECU back to stock...
