Car won’t boost more than 5 psi, boost leak?

Scanned with
Vag Com, no codes but the car won’t boost past 5 psi. Requested boost versus actual boost is way off.
Do I have a boost leak somewhere? I’ve already checked intercooler hoses and swapped the n75 out with a spare.
Car is 034 chipped and I have Wagner ic’s.

What are your MAFs reading?
And your trim values?
Pull your DVs off and test them (suck test).

Had already swapped dv’s. Forgot to mention that.
I’ll try to get those other readings tonight.

Recently i just check my Intercooler and noticed the oil at the edge on both of my intercooler,
and i pressure test them, they are absolutely leaking~~
since this is very easy to check, you can check this area too when you got time.

Isn't this a wank test?

I'm not familiar with this method - would you mind explaining in great detail?

Well... when you suck your DV off it's a blowjob. When you pull your DV off, it's the wank test.

Ah, sounds like one could really enjoy this. I'll have to give it a go.

I live near Seattle so I’m not used to dealing with corrosion at all

Nicknamed the bastard bolt for a good reason.

Every car has a bolt that takes on the name of bastard bolt.
