WTF?! 6th gear 75mph, roll on throttle and boost to 10 then drops to 5psi (more)
I was cruising on 95 about 75mph when I wanted to pass someone. I rolled into the throttle about 3/4 and it boosted normal and then just dropped back to 5psi. Now it won't fuggin boost over 5psi. WTF happened now? I am beginning to hate this friggen car.

sounds like typical limp mode to me - if your going to mod the car your going to pay for it
get a vag if you don't have one - will help wonders - i went way to long without one

Limp mode.
I would swap in normal BPVs, check TBB, F-hose, intercooler hoses, and intercoolers.
do a pressure test. Somewhere you are losing boost.
Also, VAG the car to see what codes are causing limp mode.
you should be able to get to the bottom of this with these tests.
