Hi,
I have a 2.0 TDI Quattro 170 A3 that has been remapped and DPF removed, EGR blanked. should be around the 215bhp mark. The remap (was) absolutely fantastic, it completely transformed the car, even a dab of throttle would shunt me forward and the torque was amazing, so good infact the clutch used to slip in 4th gear (replacing clutch in near future).
Recently however when giving it a bit of beans the car no longer feels as quick as it did, seems like theres not much boost there. The turbo was inspected when the DPF delete was carried out and it was OK, no oil leakage/shaft play, there doesn't seem to be anything untoward with it.
I scanned the vehicle with VCDS and there are no fault codes. It feels like there is a hell of a LOT more power to give but its just not happening. Also the clutch no longer slips leading me to believe it's definitely not as powerful as before.
I have VCDS/VAG-COM if anyone could let me know which blocks I should be measuring I can post a log.
Appreciate any guidance as the lack of power is really doing my nut in.

- Off the top of my head I'm thinking boost/vacuum hoses
- Possibly the fuel filter
- MAF sensor
- Could it be possible clutch is completely knackered and engine is limiting torque as a result?
