Coil Packs or Spark Plugs Going?

[phantom b6]

It's very cool night... when I was done driving the intake manifold was COOL to the touch (thank you fmic). Car felt like it had less power than usual and boost was only hitting like 15psi not 20 like normal and when I went to do a quick pull it felt like crap then it cut boost and the CEL popped on.

I've got some NGK colder plugs that I'm going to put in as soon as I get a gapper in the morning. My VAG-Com should be here tomorrow otherwise I'll go to AutoZone and scan the code. Does this sound like just the plugs or could it be a bad coilpack?

Sounds like a boost leak.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think you will get a CEL if you have a boost leak. I know you won't if you have a vacuum leak but I don't know if that is the same as boost. I know once you over come the vacuum, you have boost but if you have a vacuum leak that would mean you wouldn't get the boost you expect. I had a vacuum leak and got no CEL. My .02 May be a coilpack. Try testing them by removing each one individually and see what happens.

I've blown the coupler off my IC piping before and it wouldn't even throw a CEL.... I'm going to do the plugs and then after that try the coils
