So, cam follower has been replaced. Banjo bolt was found, are there washers on any of the pieces that came off the cam follower because mine have none on. Any just took it for a test driving.. and when my boost hits 13-15 psi the car kinda rocks forward and back. And shifting is rough. It's a dsg... I'm not even opening the throttle up. Driving very slow and easy

Yes there is a metal washer that's needed on the high pressure line. Without it your HPFP could and most likely leak.

Which one is the high pressure fuel line? The banjo bolt or the one next it

feels like a massive boost leak.

It also wouldn't hurt to do a pressure test and check for leaks. There are several DIY's on the forums. You can also build your own for $20-$30 using parts from Home Depot or Lowes.

did it act like this before the banjo bolt job? you may have not installed it properly. boost leaks wouldnt cause it to lurch around. a boost leak might happen at 15psi, so it will act normal until that poiint and then just not be as fast
