Default MAF Problems???

Well, for the past couple of weeks I have been having some regular turbo problems. It first started off with my A4 not boosting past 4-5psi when the car became heated up, then it started happening all the time. After VAGing the car, it said N75 open circuit, so I replaced the N75, and I was boosting up to normal 15psi, but the day of replacing it, I was driving home from work, and pulling away in 3rd gear, the car stuck at 5psi, and the boost then became very erratic there after. Then, a few miles down the road, my Check Engine light came on. I limped home, and checked things under the hood. Turns out, I had not tightened the hose connecting the MAF to the turbo inlet, so I tightened that up, and now the car will not boost past 5psi. I am thinking it is the MAF now, is there any way to check if this is the problem? Need some advice from the experts!

Try resetting the ECU and do a TBA

if your CEL is on, get a VAG and check out the DTCs

I did unplug the ECU, and did the TBA, but that did not solve the problem, and strange enough, it did not clear the CEL either.

Default Then you need to have the code pulled. If the CEL remains there is a hard fault still present and

knowing the code will allow a better shot at the cause.
