Default Not Spooling?

i have a 2k TT Quat 180hp, normally the turbo with spool up around 3k-ish. recently that hasnt been the case, im getting no odd noises so i doubt it is the turbo itself, and no vacuum leaks, but sometimes the car will boost intermittantly and also at much higher rpms. can this be a N75? or is it something else. if anyone might know help would be appreciated. thanks

It could be your N75 valve.

The N75 will throw a CEL, or at least store a code.
VAG the car & see if there are any codes.

Could be...
Bad DV, boost leak, faulty sensor, or N75

Oh, your going the "just throwing parts at it" route.

Even if the CEL isn't on, there can be stored codes. It can be something as simple as a pinched line on the N75, or a faulty connection.

like i said theres no pinched lines or leaks, ive searched through the compartment and found nothing, if i could get my hands on a VAG then i would run it.
