Yeah, that sounds like the first thing I'd check/replace. You may also want to inspect the clamps between your turbo outlet and throttle body, since your K04 install was recent & there may be a loose clamp?

Default How's your car holding up??

I'm thinking about modding my car but I would be starting at 100k miles, I was wondering if you stared to run into issues with your car. As for you issue I would get a new BPV. I hear they have a hard time keeping boost with chipped k03's. Could just try a TT valve if you dont feel like spendng money
