[s-cars] The boost is gone (and so is the thrill....)

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Check ALL 3.5mm vacuum hoses in the engine bay,
including those going to moisture trap.  This is
outlined on UrS4.com, but those clamps are probably
oxidized by now and a lil loose.  Nothing a trip to
FLAPS won't solve.  Reclamp and you should be golden.
As for how to test, I have patented the Pizzo Clamp
Torque Resistance Maneuver (tm).  Pull on the lines.
If they don't fall off their clamps, "ist Gut".
