After resetting the AFR and fuel pressure it now drives very nicely both low down and through the throttle onto boost, but the constant revving up and down is worrying me, as it will idle very fast when first started.
When it hits 1000rpm, it sounds lovely and with a lambda value of 0.98 which is about 14.7 ish.
I wasn't sure if the ECU needs to re-learn or something after changing the Co pot settings and fuel pressure
I will be taking it to MSD, but that distance a the moment i think is a bit risky, especially if i get caught in traffic with it revving its bits off.
My 205 Gti did something similar and it is was a faulty Idle control sensor, it kept hopping from cold running / slow traffic map to normal and back...a new sensor solved it.
I would consider the expense of a trailer journey and know it will be 100% sorted.
