Default I think Jon G had his go bad and his car threw a DTC

But I reserve the right to be wrong on that one!

When I installed my turbo kit, I did a crappy job routing my vac lines and one of them leading to the N75 valve ended up getting cut and I was seeing 25 psi. Once I fixed it, back down to 18.

Default Pretty easy to test. You can yank it and check that the wastegate 'leg' has no flow when you blow

into one of the shorter legs (plug the other) and I believe the VagCom tests include the N75 along with the injectors etc ... (You can hear the solenoid clicking while testing) I had one go south and no DTCs just lower boost.
