Boost problem update
I cleaned the maf and that didn't help, I took all of the hyperground kit off just incase that was indirectly affecting it since I noticed the boost drop after I installed this. I ran the Vag again and came back with a fault code saying something like Intermittent Low Voltage, or something like this. The boosts strong up to 5psi, but then just stops, like I have no power. 5psi holds steady, it just doesn't rise above this. I don't think that it is the guage cause the car feels slow. I checked again for any cracked hoses. Didn't find any, but that doesn't mean there arent' any. I really do not know what to do at this point. If I were to order a new maf, which one should I get, part number, etc.... Please help.

Maybe some of the mechanical gurus could answer this......
I don't know how the wastegate works on this particular car, but what if his wastegate were sticking open? Is that possilbe to do without throwing a code, and thus allowing more exhaust to bypass the turbine and thusly reducing boost?
