I know the feeling.

Could be just a coincidence,

Have you checked the usual stuff like dizzy cap, rotor arm, HT leads, plugs?

Could be a air leak or a hole in your air intake.

I know the feeling.

Just check the usual stuff.

Cant see how the digidash can affect it, could be wrong though.

NOPE ALL WRONG!!!! 8)

I just had the same problem wiv my 1.6 GSI :cry: after install my digi dash!

Its your speedo sensor driver!! Theres 3 wires (Earth, Live & speed)
Make sure your speed wire is connect from the digidash speedo driver to the ecu wire! It will be wired the same why as the old speedo driver that was in it before!

The ecu needs 2 know how fast your going so it can adjust the amount of fuel being pumped in! Or it will just think your revving all the time :lol:

Your car will drive alot smooth 2 now :D (U may need yur ecu resetting as it stores the problem!)

Let me know how it goes
