GTI Inlet Manifold & Throttle Fitted - 1 Small Problem

Ok, finally fitted the GTI inlet manifold and throttle body onto my 1.4 16v polo. Everything is working, the car accelerates etc. However the car is now finding it difficult to idle as the revs jump up n down the 1000 mark. Using my VAG COM i have one fault code that comes up:
- Barometeric / Manifold Pressure Signals: Implausible correlation P1553
I have used the channel 60 to do the adaptation run on the throttle body but no luck. Anyone have a clue what the error means and what can be the possible fault.
Cheers.

that would be due to the fact its not designed for the engine. from memory its dueo to too much air going in.
ill check elsa when im home and tell you the official word on that error, but theres a chance it cant be fixed as they are somewhat different engines with two different management systems

Is the fault definitely due to too much air entering? If it is, is it possible to cure the problem by mapping the ecu to let it no that it has a bigger throttle body etc?

Do you think you can also check if the GTI and 1.4 16v MAP sensors are the same, as i havent changed that.

Where does it connect to?
Also, I need the fault code number for that error - what youve given isnt enough for elsa to translate
