    tfsi (all) intake leak fix, I thought should be shared

    Hi everyone, Just thought I’d share this with people in case it is not well known and stumbled across this by accident when trying to order a dipstick gasket at TPS yesterday.

    Pd70 9n3 won’t hold full boost

    Hi. I’m currently having problems with my turbo holding boost. When I put my foot down anytime after 2000rpm it boosts all the way around to 16/17 psi then drops off immediately to 12/13 psi I’m suspecting it’s the actuator but I’d appreciate some more professional opinions on this one. thanks.
