    Hello. I recently replaced the throttle body in my 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg 1.8T. Now, about three months later, I am getting some of the same erratic idle issues that I was having before replacement. Anyone else having seen or experienced this? Currently I am only getting erratic idle problems in the morning on initial warm-up. I usually could let warm up for a good minute and drive off. Now I have to wait for full operating temperature. My water meth set-up only squirts at 12psi of boost or higher. Thanks.

    Where's your nozzle mounted? What size pump and nozzle? Some people claim to have issues with water seeping into the TB; I've been running my kit with anywhere from 30% meth to 100% water for 9 months now with no problems, so it depends on a few different factors, but it's a possibility

    where is your nozzle placed? It is recommended to use our throttle flange to avoid any throttle body failure. Places the nozzle after the throttle

    If you are only running one jet then isn't the TB spacer to close for proper atomization?
