Losing Boost

[Todd Phenneger]

Allan,
  Your Bypass Valve is blown.  Granted, it could be something
else but its a VERY common problem on the Audi 20vt motors and
most Audi Turbo motors for that matter.  You can replace it with
stock or you can put something better in like a Forge Valve or
similar.
  Maybe some others can describe how to test you BPV to see if
its good or not.  But thats where I'd start.
