Here's my issue:
1. Leaking air sound for a while now in boost and vacuum.
2. Low boost readings from boost gauge.
3. Generally inconsistent boost, sometimes it'll spike 15psi, others ten, usually drops to 5psi by the end of pull.
4. Rough idle and jerky power band when MAF is connected.
5. All problems amplified with install of golf R IC and unmodified golf R hoses (rough idle only present after IC install).
6. VW dealers can't communicate with my ECU.
7. Underboost Code P0299
Here's what I've done:
1. Gotten it boost leak/vacuum tested (no luck)
2 . Replaced DV with Rev D
3. Deleted noise pipe
4. Checked more boost lines and tightened fittings
5. Blocked PCV w/ BSH stage 1 block off
6. Replaced MAF w/ one from another FSI car, no change
7. Unplugged MAF as it runs better without
Solutions I can think of:
1. Turbos going bad
2. N75 is bad
3. Leak from inproper IC install w/ unmodified golf R hoses
4. Bad vacuum leak
Help a brother out because I'm at such a loss right not. I'm actively looking for vagcom around SW michigan area. Thanks in advance.
