I haven't been able to hit full boost for what seems like forever (5+months). At first I attributed it to cold weather, but then it got warm and I still couldn't break 17psi at all. So I figured that I must have killed my TT 710N, but that thing must still be holding on for dear life.
I pulled the ECU for 10mins, and after plugging it back in I let it sit with the key to acc for another 10mins (I usually do 5 and 3 minutes). Started it up and went up the block at WOT and hit 20psi.
Did a good 15 minute run to check on things and I'm hitting 18-20psi in 2nd through 5th until 5,000 rpm. It is so damn nice to have my power back, it's been since December at least.
The ECU must have adjusted to my slow driving in recent months and backed down the boost. The car is much more enjoyable to drive now. Phew.

Or...maybe TBA erases stored values, temporarily allowing the car to run stronger,
until it learns to "behave".
I'm not sure what else the vag adaptation does besides making the ECU at one with the throttle plate limits. Anybody have any knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes when a TBA is run via vag.com?
