Hi team - I have done 4 track days in my 2015 GTI now and over the last two I have had a reoccurring loss of power, or sort of engine stumble, on two specific corners. The car is stock except for JB1 (map 4) and brake upgrades.
Both corners are similar in that they are fast downhills into fairly sharp right hand uphills. I'll come down, brake hard and start my turn in, as I start to apply power and track out to the corner exit, the power will cut off and on a few times and then come back on fully. It lurches back and forth a good bit when this happens. I just ordered OBD11 so I wasn't using it when it occurred. I typically take the corner in 3rd (at about 3-3500 RPM when i start to roll on throttle), but I have tried the corner in second too and then same thing happens. Any advice???
