hi guys,
my b4 is running like shit at the moment but last night was the last straw when it almost cut out on me at a set of lights. The car surges under boost most of the time especially in higher gears but last night it started to idles funny and the engine light came on briefly then disappeared.

Connected little black wires under dash and engine light started flashing and i counted to 16 long pauses and 8 short ones for code 168 but cant seem to find what it is can anyone help me and point me in the right direction.

cheers terry

you might have mis-counted the error codes.
but start with the easy stuff

check for air leaks
Clean the AFM
convert to single turbo
Look for out of place vac lines

Also, connect the other pair of plugs (white or green)
then start the car and let it idle

It'll cycle all the solenoids/ fans and report to you what's not working properly
