Default Lack of Boost.... Could be worse, but im sad.

just went stg3- with some KO4's. finished about a month ago, car started right up, zero problems. no extra or lack of bolts or anything. labeled everything, replaced everything that looked ****ty along with the TB and all that crap.

anyway... the car made 18psi and held no problem for the first day. day two i was WOT and felt the loss of boost. the car only makes 10 psi now. i have checked and checked and checked and pressure tested and pressure tested and pressure tested. intercoolers look good, DV intact along with hoses, TBB replaced, F hose looks good, those hoses in the back of the motor the 2 to 1's that come from the wastegate and **** all look good, all vacuum hoses look great too unless there are some hiding from me. any ideas?

im not to keen on the N75 but i STFA on it and believe that might have something to do with it. dont know for sure though. lemme know what you thinkg. TIA.

everything else runs great by the way, i just want to go out and play.

Default two things to check...

1) check to see if you have any codes with a VAG to see if you are in limp mode.

2) if you have GIAC 3- code and have multi-program option (stock, pump, etc), make sure you are not in stock mode.

you actually pressure tested, not just visually inspected?
