Ported TB and MAF!!! Now have problems... Well, the MAF was semi ported before, but I had a buddy polish it up some more as well as porting the TB.
When I drive the car around now and get on it...it won't downshift, and the converter just locks letting the car casually rise in RPM's. With the research tonight, I can assume with my A4 that I either ported the MAF too much, or something else is wrong with the car. I should have just let the MAF alone. It was already descrened and everything before. Never had any problems! My car idle's now at 1300 rpms
Maybe I need to set my idle screw down a bit, or just get it retuned.
Anyone??

Sounds like your friend might have hogged it out a little too close to where the blade makes its seal at. Are you positive that you hooked everything up right? Did you make sure that the IAC has its O-ring still in place?

The car runs strong now, nothing was wrong. I just disconnected the battery, waited 10 mins, reconnected it. Ran the car 10 miles, and then let it sit over night. The next day I went out and it pulls harder than ever.

nevermind guys........I found out today that my tranny is going out. I think I'm going to sell the car, it's giving me too many problems and gas expenses are crazy for this daily driver.
