Default Turbo only going to 12psi

hey everyone, not sure what the problem may be, but recently i see that my turbo gauge does not surpass 12psi. normally it would hit 14/15psi's, but not now.

What could be wrong? is it because of the cold? turbo starting to give?.. the car has 120kms on it, it's a 98 A4 1.8tq



Thanks everyon

Build a boost leak tester... These things are invaluable for Turbocharged cars. Chances are, you've got yourself a small boost leak.

I'll post a write up on how to build one of these tomarrow when the site's working.
