Hole in the bottom of the Michelin Man hose!

[I was checkin some stuff out the other day lookin for the reason why I'm
not 
getting over 1 bar and found some things. There is some gunk around the 
corner of the valve cover...would a vaccuum leak there limit boost to 1 bar?

Also I get 1 click from the throttle switch, as soon as it is opened. Should

it also click when at full throttle? Shit...there was also some oil at the 
lower right hand corner of the IC...right above the hose. This lack of boost

BS sucks...I checked many of the likely hoses, ran the fault codes, replaced

the temp switch, checked the exhaust, cleaned the ISV, and replaced the air 
filter. Everything has checked out so far. Possibly a combination of a leaky

valve cover, IC, and broken throttle switch?
HEHE...I smoked my buddy in his Mercedes 90 the other day. It was a real 
twisty road...kinda thought he'd have more of a chance since the 'ole type 
44 is so big. Quattro really surprised him!
Thanks,
