Default What can cause your car to reduce boost goal?

Assuming there are no CE lights, and no codes found with VAG?

Default If you developed a leak.....

the resulting rich condition will have to exist for at least two drive cycles.

Have you check the car with a VAG-COM?

Default Check the wire going to (from) boost (mine was broken)

The mechanic found it, but it took him a while.
