Fuel Cut Options

[black92_tsi_awd]

So it seems like I'm hitting fuel cut more these days. I used to only get it when the engine was cold and I got on it hard, once the engine warmed up, it was fine. It's definately fuel cut...hits a brick wall!

So I did some researching and I guess the first thing I'll do is a boost leak test tonight, bought the fittings at lunch today.

If I don't have any boost leaks, what are my options?

A few I found where:
1- Hack the MAFT, removing the lower honeycomb. I guess this just delay fuel cut. But from what I read the idle can go to hell and you can get problems going lean because of the unmetered air.

2-GM MAFT translater, I like the option but $200-300 isn't readily avaliable right now. Some tuning availablity is nice though. I'd have to cut up my Buscher UICP or make a new one to get the GM MAFT in.

3-Custom burnt chip to eliminate fuel cut. I'd have to get my ECM socketed-$50? Who's a good burner? Wasn't there somebody on this board doing chips, Wortdog maybe??


Anything obvious I'm missing to check?
