Right sorry everyone, I know people are gonna say do a "search" but i've searched and dont really know where to start. Any help or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
I noticed the other day while accelerating my car boosts to 20psi then quickly (bout 3500rpm) drops to 15 and then holds bout 10psi. It seems to be like holding back, hard to explain so got it on my vag-com and this is what showed up,

Address 01: Engine
Controller: 6K0 906 032 AA
Component: 1.8L 20VT EU3 0002
Coding: 10500
Shop #: WSC 79413
9 Faults Found:
17535 - Long Term Fuel Trim mult., Bank1 System too Rich - Intermittent
18010 - Power Supply (B+) Terminal 30 Low Voltage- Intermittent

17956 - Boost Pressure Regulation Valve (N75): Open Circuit

As i said any help would be great!

Cheers

sounds like could be an earth problem to me, cant be bothered to try and search for what all the other codes mean, check all your electircal valves and connectors under the bonnet, along with fuses under the dash

That was my thread. (I think) I will update it now with the outcome.
Check fuse 8 definetly.
The fault codes are similar to what I had last week and it was due to the induction kit pushing the air pipes etc further back that they are meant to. One of the wires connecting to the boost valve had rubbed through and was shorting against the bulk head or one of the metal brackets (if I remember correctly). Thus making fuse 8 blow everytime I accelerated hard.
Check that see if that helps.

I think you need to clear them codes, go for a drive then re-scan, random misfires on 3 cylinders, you car would run like a bag of shite!

A N75 with open circut wouldnt produce 20psi.
