Re: HELP!!!!P&P lost my HP?!?!?!?! (vwimusic)

could be a few things :
who did the headwork ??
do they know what they're doing ?? they could have lost the "swirl"
is it mechanically timed right ??
have you fitted a vernier ?? tall-block puts timing out slightly , and 1 notch on pulley = about 9degree out !!
are cams i sync ??
have you put it together right ??
is everything there ??
all vac hoses tight ??
no leaks on inlet ??
could be any number of things really , better get it on a gas analyser , see whats going on

ditto to what Ian mentioned. I recently have a 3 angle valve job and chambers cc'd on my 1.8head and have not issues.
Cover the basics and make sure everthing is sound, check grounds, vacuum lines, injectors and fuel delivery, injector o-rings, etc. Have the mixture & timing specs set to stock and go from there.
good luck.
