I had pulled the into cooler piping off my car. I reinstalled the piping and went to take her for a spin and as soon as it would start to boost she sputters and falls on her face. If i let of the gas it will slowely start yo pull through and then pull how it normally does. I though i may have a boost leak so i checked and sure enough i found a hose with a small tear. I replace the hose checked all the remaining hoses and went for another drive. Same thing happened. I am not exactly sure as to where i need to be looking. It ran great prior to taking the piping off and now it falls on its face once you get into boost. Its not boosting anything outrageous pretty much 8-10 psi. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

There's quite a few guys on here that live in your area. See if you can employ some help from your neighboring MKIII brethren. Perhaps sausage off the grill and a cooler full of cold ones can entice them. You guys can get together and have a big sausage party.

Until then keep looking for a boost leak and stay out of boost.

I had a similar problem turned out it was my turbo outlet hose that burst at the turbo end get boost leaks checked and be very thorough and feel every intake hose.
