Started my car up after work, went to pull away from the parking garage and the car hardly moved. Feels like it is in limp mode even though my car/ year isn't applicable. I have absolutely no boost what so ever; I cannot even hear my turbo spool. Maintained to get home even though my car couldn't even get out of it's own way. Scanned via vagcom and received no DTCs....??? Now let me also say that my car has had inconsistent boosting issues since I got it chipped about 5k mi ago. I replaced my turbo right before the GIAC chip due to a bad wastegate valve. My car has been surging like crazy off and on since I got the upgraded software; was about to change the N75 valve soon due to relative surging occurence. I also have the Forge splitter DV installed along with the airbox mod. I also replaced my MAF not too long ago as well. Do you think a faulty N75 valve could totally wipe out my boost without any associated DTCs? How come I am not receiving any DTCs? Posted below is a copy of my scan. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys:

Funny thing you asked highwords because I actually just purchased new NGK BKR6E plugs on the way home tonight to install thinking that my plugs may have fouled out. Can bad plugs really have this effect on an engine? I mean no boost even with the throttle floored? There are no misfires or roughness in the engine what so ever. I still do not know why I am not receiving any DTCs...

i would say the wrong plugs can have a bad effect, but that bad, not sure....... did you hear the turbo at all?   do you have a boost guage?   and only 5 k on a rebuilt turbo could be a bad turbo....
 
 
maybe cincy or onepoint8 will chime in

Problem fixed!! Thanks turbokraut. Swapped plugs out with new BKR6Es gapped @ .028 and she runs like a champ! Wow, I had no idea faulty plugs could have that much of an effect on an engine. Before this happened I filled up with Sunoco ultra 94 and added a bottle of STP fuel injector cleaner; do you think the high test could have fouled out the plugs? The Bosch platinums I had in there were in bad shape; they were the four prong type all carbon coated and black. Each one also had some oil build-up on the bottom of the porcelin..?? Along with replacing the plugs I removed all intake plumbing and associated hardware to check it out. Tried replacing my N75 valve but local Audi dealer was closed.  Installed everything back to normal and she's running good. Seems to be a little more responsive and pulls more smoothly through the power band but is still surging like a b*tch! Should I upgrade to the race valve or do an mbc; heard GIAC doesn't care for the race valve...?? Any ideas?

you could run the j valve..... gives you more psi, but not quite as agressive as the race...... not as many problems, also not sure if this would do it, but how much are you venting atmospherically?  that might be part of your surge
