Robby,

I have changed the WGFV, the WG, TBV,  all hoses, plugs, wires, cap, 
(not rotor) coil, throttle position sensor, air intake temp sensor, ECU 
and the MAF.

Symptoms are if you try to get more than 1.4 bar below 5k, you can hear 
boost dumping (leaking) and the car hesitates/misses at more than about 
1/2 throttle. Above 5k rpm, I can get 1.4 bar to hold with no hesitation 
or miss and I cannot hear boost dumping.

This is with a chipped Hoppen stage 1 ECU so 1.4 bar on the gauge is 
more like 1.7+. Stock ECU will do the same thing but will get to 
1/5/1.6bar or so indicated before it does the same thing. Used to be 
able to indicate 1.8 on the gauge.
