Default What are some symptoms to boost leak? (m)

The car feels like it hits the rev limiter at 3500 rpm in 3rd gear and then it just won't pull as hard as it does before. By the way, I'm running the ABT chip.

Default Do you hear the sound of rushing air? Also, does this only happen in 3rd. If so, it sounds like a

different problem. Do you have a VAG-COM or a boost gauge?

Default Yes, check the actual/requested boost. See if you have spikes. I don't have Forge BPV's, so I

can't help you there.
