Sfr turbo kit problem

Hello everybody!
I have bought the sfr turbo kit months ago and started to install it. I´m nearly done with it but there is a little problem. I´m using the powermod system with the map from sfr. If I start the engine it takes a long time, the engine don´t get above 2000 or 3000rpm. But if I take the pins from the maf sensor out of the powermod the car starts hardly but runs normal. I started to make a little testdrive but If i wanted to start driving the engine wents out. So I started again. But every time I stop driving the engine wents out. But putting the pins from the maf sensor out is no solution. What problem can that be? I checked all wires from the powermod they are all okey. The maf signal is also okey. The only thing I´m not really sure about ist the tsi wireing. Is there anyone who as installed the sfr kit? I think the powermod is damaged.

Have you called SFR? The Powermod may have a base tune that has to be customized for your car. Have you thought about taking out the Powermod and using the Cobb Accessport.

That must be a really old kit.
Tim has been offering the kit with the AccessPORT option for a while now.
