Spinning dials points to a battery fault mate, get the multimeter out and watch for an illuminated battery light during running, as this could indicate a faulty battery and/or alternator...
Anyway...
The resonator pressumably holds more ambient air inside the manifold so there is a greater quantity of air as soon as you open the throttle. To me that sounds like it would actually improve throttle response, I've never agreed with these resonator bung thingies anyway as there isn't conclusive evidence of a gain. Usually a resonator box is in-line with an airbox to help reduce intake noise (bad) but on a GTi6 it's actually a resonator inside the manifold (confusing) so I don't know how it really works, all I know is that I've never driven a GTi6 or 1.8 equipped with a GTi6 inlet mani that hasn't had a resonator box attached.
Who knows?
How many silencers in your exhaust?
