ok so i have been having the same problem for months on end, low boost. i was only boosting 12-13 psi on a GIAC chip and i was pretty sure that was not right. i fixed every air leak in the entire engine including the crank case breather hose. still 12-13 psi. i put on all silicon venir boost hoses. now at 13 psi. then my thought was n75 valve so i got an n75 race valve. now 14 psi spike. well today i was messing around with the vag com and turns out thethrottle angle when floored was only 62.7% WTF???? so i took the laptop to the front of the car and twisted it to WOT and the comp said 86.4%. turns out the cable was loose so i tightened it and now i spool up real fast to 17-20 psi depending on the temp outside. car feels so much faster and now i feel so much better. thought i would share with you all since i had the hardest time finding the problem i almost just gave up on it. 
by the way my mods are: 
godspeed front mount intercooler 
ecs n75 race valve 
silicon hoses 
GIAC chipped 
baileys dv 
and a shitty ass paint job see for yourself. keep in mind im poor so i know it needs to be lowered but i cant afford that just yet. window tint will come soon too.

wow this is pretty cool actually... i have only been boosting 14-15 psi with my GIAC software, and after replacing my n75 with the race version there was only a very slight difference.

i tried checking all of the hoses like you did and i found no boost leak. maybe i am having the same throttle body issue, if i can find someone with VAG COM i will definitely try this!!
