uh-oh, MAF?
2001 tt 225, new to me, 80K, new in last 30 days: Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, plugs, coils, water pump, trans service, oil
last 7 days: APR 93 chip, APR R1 DV, VTDA
on my way to work today, after 15 min backroad driving, took off from stop and the tach dropped, and backfire. had to give minimal gas to creep the rest of the way. It would bog and backfire otherwise.
Checked the accutron, and I think it said fuel air meter er.

Those symtoms sound more like..>>
A coil pak problem Bill. MAF's usually degrade slowly over time.
You can unplug the MAF and if the car runs fine, consider replacing. If you get a flashing CEL and real rough running you have a coil pak failure

You might have just hit limp mode......>
Which is directly related to the MAF. Sometimes after installing a high flow Airbox, which you just did, it will force a dying MAF over the edge... At 80K, if you don't have history on the car, I'd plan on replacing it..
