The most common failures in boost are: 1. The small rubber hose under
the black cover in the center of the firewall. (remove cover with two
screws). 2. The boost hose that connects to the inter-cooler under the
radiator, (remove the bottom plastic engine cover to access).

disappeared, and the car is running like it is naturally aspirated. Problem
manifested yesterday afternoon. I do not have a boost gage (actually, it is
resting comfortably along with the rest of many uninstalled Audi bits), so I
do not know if boost is completely cut. There is definitely no WHAM anymore,
just linear torque.

this symptom?
