    looks like its been running rich last time it ran and i am guessing it hasn,t run for a while thats why the carbon is flaking off.
    was engine using oil?

    i bought the gti off my cousin cause he rolled it and these high comps were in it i just havent seen that much carbon on them before i do no that he didnt have them mapped in would that cause the engine to run rich, i dont no how many miles they have done but he only had them in for about 3months and its been sat on my drive for about 2months
    axsaxoman what do you mean by using oil

    that would probably cause it to run rich - unless he had a wideband to map it himself ?
