it is probably the turboback. The added psi will have an effect on turbo life, but it shouldnt matter that much

I would run some vag-com logs on block 115, something is not right, you should not be boosting that high.
Yes, you are over spooling the Turbo's & they will not last long. Your exhaust should have nothing to do with boost.

My guess is you have a N75 problem, or something wrong with the wastegates.

well, a full turboback does help spooling, and if the cats were bad enough it could raise boost pressure. then again, i dont think it could raise it that much.

No cats has nothing to due with it. You still need to set up a MBC, it's only going to be a band aid on the real problem.

There might be a leak in the lines, or the accualtores are sticking.
