Default Go to the AWE website, and build yourself, or order, a pressure tester.

VAG won't tell you where it is. You have to have the pressure tester!

They're real easy to make for about 15 bucks in parts from your ACE hardware store.

Default You can compare "Requested Boost" against "Actual Boost"...

If the difference is very high, except at the beginning (boost build-up / turbo lag), you can identify that you have potentially a leak... the problem after is to find where it is. solution is to use a boost pressure tester (AWE).
