    Have you check for codes via a VAG-COM? Seems like you are stuck in limp mode.

    I seriously doubt its the turbo. Have you checked for vacuum/boost leaks?

    sounds like a limp mode, either scan the car for codes or beat the car until a CEL comes on, then you can scan it, it really can be anything until you get the proper code readings

    my first thought was a limp mode, i have scan the car with a smartphone app and obd adapter but no codes.... i will try to find and test a vag-com check, and after off this i must search for vacuum/boost leaks.

    From what I've seen, get rid of the MBC and just use the n75. The MBC will put your car in limp mode and you will not have boost.

    Any news on this?

    I also have the AVJ engine. It has a MTM stage 1 chip, but won't boost over 15psi even with the wastegate actuator disconnected. I would be interested to see how your problem is going

    Any luck? It sounds like you two may have a boost leak. A MBC will only put your car into limp mode if it is set above the target boost pressure that the ecu is looking for. Just a tip though, if you are going to run a MBC, take the N75 out of the equation completely. Either way, I would start with a boost leak test to narrow your issues down.

    Good luck!
