sounds like a wastegate problem to me, probably opening when you dont want it to. dont have any pics for you, sorry. im not sure what vw limits its boost at stock, but the computer is probably not letting it build up any higher. invest in a chip.

na, i wouldnt worry about it. i would chip it first and see what kind of boost you are putting out. im actually surprised your not chipped already, its probably the best HP deal you can buy. would probably get an upgraded fuel pressure regulator at the same time, theyre pretty cheap, around 30 bucks or so. my s4 is chipped running on stock injectors and its nice. your car is smarter then you think, it wont lean itself out and detonate. if the 02's sense a lean condition, they will either increase the duty cycle of the injectors, command the wastegate open, or a combination of both. you'll should be fine.

If you're only running at 5 psi then it is probably something with your ECM. Check codes because 5psi is usually limp mode as the computer is only trying to protect the engine.

You may also have your wastegateand mbc hooked up wrong because 5 psi i usually what a wastegate will let you run under wastegate spring pressure (no input from a boost controller i.e. n75 or mbc)
