Re: What's the deal with cutting the Accel. bumpstop? (black2001aww)

take a drive and log block 3, this will tell you if the throttle blade itself is hitting 100% (listed on the vagcom as load). if it is, you are all set.
86% at WOT taken from the pedal is within spec. if you modify the bumpstop too much, you could break the inner workings of the pedal.

trust me, look at block 3, this will tell you how much the actual throttle plate is open. when the car is running, the pedal is only one of many inputs to determine the throttle opening...ie it is not 86% open.
mine reads about what yours does, but when I watch block 3 @ WOT, the plate is 100%.
