Start car let it idle for a few minutes to relearn idle fuel map.
take car for a test drive and see if it changed anything.

For vacuum testing go to the thread titled Car Dies go to post #50 on page three
look at the hose marked with the yellow yes you want to tee your vacuum gauge in where it meets the intake just before the resonance flapper.

Let me know how you go

Was I correct?? Do you call idle tick over??

Damn I almost forgot these cars do not do well with after market MAF sensors.
The only brand you want to use is a Bosch. (Porsche MAF sensors are rebranded Bosch)
Lol! Tbh I’d say 60 percent say tick over but real petrol heads and older people say Idle 😀

Sorry about that Blue - I sent my reply at 3am while just up for a bleary eyed wee wee and forgot - yes I did the variocam Unit and solenoid last week as my local garage (who had no Durametric kit) said they interpreted the code as a bad solenoid. Pretty gutted after allot of work to replace it but hey ho, at least it’s ruled that out 👍

What code? You said it wasn't showing any codes.

At this point it would be a good idea to just do a video of what it is doing. Also with duramtric running graph the following and post a screenshot:

rpm
cam deviation (all values)
cam angle (all values

Do another one with:
rpm
misfires (all cylinders)

Stl unfortunately the garage wrote a code down from their standard diagnostic and then looked it up on their PC to find it was the camshaft actuator at fault, but they deleted the code and we have no record of what it was.

Heres a video of the car after the egas Pedal calibration (batttery off for 30 mins etc process as suggested) ....

I’ll do another video today with the durametric data you’ve suggested
