    Got home from vacation and....

    I returned home from vacation yesterday and drove my car to my buddies house around the block. I didnt notice anything wrong as I didnt get into boost being that the car was cold. Today i took it out for a drive and my car feels like it is stock. Not sure if it is in limp mode or i have a boost leak or one of my turbos went kaboom.Im only boosting about 10 pounds and at idle the car is sitting around 13 hg. Previously it had been sitting at 16 hg at idle. Little rundown of the history of the car: Car has been running GIAC chip since 2002(installed at AWE), on orginal ko3's with 90k on them. I am the second owner, bought the car from my friends uncle who took very good care of the car. I have no idea where to even start with the car. Could one of my turbos be blown?.. HELPPPPP

    if you were only at 16hg before this current problem, you already had a problem.

    do a pressure test you probably have a significant vacuum leak somewhere, which over time can cause the turbos do die, due to having to work to hard to make boost requested.

    You need to find someone with a computer so they can vag your car. I dont understand why everyone buys performance parts first, then when they have problems they ask us with little to no info on symptoms. From now on the first thing anyone with a b5 should be buying is vag software.
