since you gutted your cat you may not have enought backpressure to open up your six ports. I have a '90 GTU and I had to open up my six ports after I gutted my cat and put on exhaust. But if that is the case you would lose power in every gear not just first.

Only the S4(86-88) FC's open the aux ports by back pressure. It could just be that you car is slowly dying.
How many miles, how's the cpmpression? More info on the car?

yeah i still have my air pump, but when i added intake i bought a smaller filter to put on the air pump hose. what is the VDI?? im not sure about the compression, i just bought the car during the summer and had to fix it b/c i bought it wrecked and i just completed it. it has 127,509 miles on it. its about time to rebuild her any ways. i am pretty sure it is only in first, it hasnt happend in any other gear. Bottlejockey....how did you open your six ports... well this is all for now, please help
