Default So I just finished the N75 install, now my car is in limp mode! any thoughts?

I got everything apart (had to remove pancake valve as well to get to N75) Fought with the pinch clamps, finally broke them free, got everything put back together right. Forgot to plug N75 in, drove noticed was in limp mode, boosting 5 psi exactly and holding all gears (went up to 4th gear). turned car off, realized I forgot to plug N75 in, plugged in went for another drive, still in limp. Anyone have any ideas? I scanned w/ limited VAG-com software and came up with the same two codes I had before. No new code though (for limp mode)

Default Update, had all codes cleared at autozone. Only was one code at this point (for secondary air injec

or system) So the N75 code is gone. Once all codes cleared still only boosting to 5 psi. It seems like it would be pretty much impossible to do the lines backwards. valve fits in so plug is facing upwards, and I put it in the way I took it out. Is it possible I installed the pancake valve backwards? I took pancake valve out to get to N75. Would pancake installed incorrectly cause only 5 PSI? Nothing else was messed with so I am really confused. Especially since the N75 code is gone now...

Default Is it worth my time to disconnect battery for 20 minutes to let ECU reset?

I dunno what else it could be as there are no codes.
