Default Boost issues: down to 5psi from 19psi (X-CHIP)

2 weekends ago I put racegas(100oct) in my car and as expected I enjoyed the hell out of it. After the weekend I put normal gas in and after a few normal days, my boost went down to around 12psi. The car started hesitating a lot. I checked the BPVs(baileys) and looked at the hoses (didn't take them off yet) but didn't see anything obvious. A few days later boost went down to 5Psi after running for about a minute on 12psi. This happens now everytime. You start the engine, start driving, boost is around 12 for about a minute, the car starts hesitating and then drops to 5psi for the rest of the trip. I brought it into the dealership and they blamed my aftermarket airintake (hard to believe). I used the VAG tool to recalibrate the throttle with no success. There are no errors present either.
Any suggestions other then taking all the hoses off and check them.

Default Sounds like you are in limp mode.....

Check your MAF with the VAG, an 02 sensor could also make the car FUBAR.

Limp mode. Check for DTC's... might be your MAF.
