All listed below are the like culprits of many common issues that we run into on a daily basis.

N75 issues / symptoms : Intermittent boost issues Limp mode Worse when hot
N249 issues / Symptoms: - Power loss - Logging fault code - Cutting boost mid gear Maf / Amm issues / symptoms: - lack of power - Power fluctuation through the rev range - Logging fault code
Dv issues / symptoms - fluttering noise instead of air rush noise boost loss over boost cut logging fault

Testing:
Maf/Amm - Unplug sensor and go for drive, if improves symptoms likely to be the issue
N75 - Un plug, drive if resolves issue then likely sensor at fault
N75 - Measure voltages at plug to N75, should be 11-14v pin 1, pin 2 should be 3-5v
N75 measure Ohmic value of valve hot and cold - should be 25-35 ohms
DV- push up valve from bottom then cover top spout, when you release top spout should bang back into place, if it doesn't, likely cause.



a Boost gauge is a very quick and easy way to determine if you have an issue. Vcds or suitable Obd code reader will also show if your logging any issues and can also be used to check if sensors are working as they should be.
