MAF + SENSOR???

[cookie_monster]

Hi i was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me...i have a Golf 1.9 SE TDI (90bhp).......iv had it a week now and it has no 'kick' in it at all.....the turbo does not kik in at any rev....my last 1.2 fiat punto had a better pick up with around 60 bhp!.....i went to the vw dealers they sed i shud have a diagnostic check on it which will cost me £50 but he goes it does not pick up all faults and we may not be able to tell you what is rong......i then went to a local garage where he pulled the electrics out of the MAF (basically disconnected the sensor) i think....i then took it around the block and it felt much faster and could feel the pick up .........im confused to what it could be?.....also if i drive around with the sensor out am i damaging the car in anyway?....does it effect the fuel consumption?....any suggestions with this problem would be of great help........
.....thnx in advance!

If you disconected the Maf and the car felt better then you must replace Maf.

When you disconect the Maf you run on pre established values, by the cars ecu.

It will not harm the engine, buy a new maf and you will notice much more improvment.

You can also check the N75, because it can cause boost problems

Well i saw some Maf´s for sale on ebay.de (60/75 euros)
The N75 is the boost control valve.(it controlls the boost of the turbo)
Mine is located next to the N18 (controlls the egr).

Mine looks like this
