That fault code usually means your battery got drained at some point. DV should be fine. If it was leaking 14psi you'd most likely hear it. If you have a volt meter you can test power to the n75, and check it's resistance. Though, Idk what the resistance should be. Search on that.

any chance you think it could be the turbo? Or my exhaust leak?

No I don't... And I'm very surprised you don't have any related faults with this.

Hey guys

Ok so its been a while but I finally performed the boost leak test and ended up finding a leak so I have fixed that but still im getting 3psi if im lucky. I am getting really frustrated now because I want my car to have its ***** back but is there any other ideas as to what my boost problem can be?

Are you sure you got all the leaks? Have you ran the VAG again to see what its saying? Is it possible your wastegate is messed up?

yea I re scanned it and no fault codes were found. I dont have a check engine light on or anything still. I just hooked up a pressure line to the waste gate and it blew off that pressure so I think that means its working. I am doing another boost leak test now but 90% I have found all the leaks

I am pretty sure your wastegate is set at 5psi from factory. This is a dumb question, but can you hear a leak when you are driving?

The only leak I hear is an exhaust leak but I know where that is leaking from already...its the gasket between the cat and the turbo
