yea so they didnt have it at the VW dealer it was the wrong one, its special order but they had one at the local audi place, so the nice guy at vs calls audi up and they wouldnt sell it to me because some guy orded it 2 weeks ago and never picked it up, the vw guys says "why cant you just order another one, your not going to be open till tuesday, the guy wont pick it up if he has not called, and give this one to my customer" so i dont know what the guy said back but the answer was no.. and the VW guy goes.. thanks alot you dushbag, not only do you over charge for parts but you wont even sell them, thats bullshit.. have a shitty xmass ********.. I almost **** myself in the store..

did you hear a wooshing sound from the driveers side at WOT and then get kicked into limp mode if you hold full boost?

It is a one way check valve. They cost about 12 dollars on line, about 20 or so at a dealer.

You can try to patch it temporarily with some expoy until you get one. It is on a vacuum line, not a boost line.
