Anj- we bypassed my EBC solenoid with a Hallman mbc. Same issue was occuring. My main focus will be on the WGA.
It's just weird that the car held for as many pulls as it did... me confused>
If the wga is the issue, I have the stock one from my original VIII turbo which I know is still a good part.

Yeah they are one of the typical low reading Dyno Dyamics dynos. From what I've seen, it is another 15-16% to get to Dynojet numbers.

it's definitely not something that an MBC will fix. DSG tried that and it was still happening. it's either the WG actuator itself or a boost leak.

I would contend that you should be able to hear a boost leak that big...

I suppose, but it just seems that it would be an awful big leak for it to drop 8 psi. I had a boost leak that I couldn't notice on the boost gauge but it definitely was audible - and my car is not quiet either.

so, i think my car feels slower? its really hard to gauge by my butt dyno.. but for some reason it doesn't seem to have the same top end.
i got like 500rpm + in spoolup. the only way i'll know for sure is to take it to the track
edit: i also got my sticker today (THANKS FOR THE HELP THIS WEEKEND DAVE!!!)
the Lithuanians didn't even look at my car they just said "hey give me your registration - i give you sticker right now" wicked nice guys.

yes stock wga and all pump gas
This did not ever happen on my stock VIII turbo. Since I had put my 6.5 TME one in, I have thrown 4 CEL with codes that lead to wastegate. I can get the exact code # but that is what the scan tool read. The wga is the starting point. Which could be off since it was new. But was told it was bolt and go. At least I have a stock back up.

Dex stock catback isnt exactly top end friendly but you shoudl have better spool and low end torque with the new setup. I like that better since i spend more time down low then up top.
