ISSUE SOLVED: UPDATED ORIGINAL POST WITH PROCESS AND SOLUTION
Well this seems like a big one
So I went to pass a semi today on my way back from an out of state trip, and the car fell on its face with a woosh sound. Started hesitating and misfiring when I let off the throttle, and jumps from about 800rpm to 2000rpm while idling, very rough.
I pulled the MAF to see if that was causing any issue but same result. Engine doesn't sound healthy at all, almost like knocking when it is attempting to run. I just recent put in bosch Fr5DTC plugs and I am running red coil packs. I don't think these would be the issue since it happen on all at once. I checked the intercooler pipes and those are still in good shape, and can't find any leaks. Anywhere specific to check? I am afraid of it being the HPFP cam follower since it has been a little while since I checked it, is this a common result of that?
Any help GREATLY appreciated
Pulled codes and am getting (no hard code yet)
p0299 -0 Boost pressure regulation; control range not reached
p0300 - Random/multiple cylinder misfer detected
p0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire detected
p0302 - Cylinder 2 misfire detected
p0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire detected
p0304 - Cylinder 4 misfire detected

Here was how I did the leak test, removed the turbo to valve cover pipe and plugged it with a wine stop wrapped in some shop towels to get the diameter. Tightened it up with a hose clamp. Plugged the pvc contraption into the TIP and set the psi to about 15 and let her rip. If you have a pcv installed, I am not sure if you would want to remove and extra part. Doesn't seem like it though.
Could someone post a picture of what is supposed to be going on with the smaller tap underneath the one I just had an issue with. When I first bought the car I didn't do much of my own work and had a shop but the boost gauge in. Looks like a hack job so I want to replumb it with this nice apr tap, but I don't have a baseline of what the stock configuration looks like.
