Car has become SLOW
Well, last night I did a little highway dash from 60-90 or so. And BOY was it slow. It felt like it was taking forever, I could barely even hear my turbo, and I according to my aftermarket boost gauge, it was only hitting about 0.25 kg/cm, which I'm estimating to around 3-4 pounds of boost, max. I suspected that I might have a vacuum leak before, but I'm not exactly sure how to diagnose that without going to a shop. I do know that I have an exhaust leak, but I don't know where. Is there anything else that could be causing my car to be slower than a sick dog?

Perhaps I blew a hose? S5 Turbo II btw.

I think the obvious answer should be check the intercooler hoses for leaks and the turbo for freeplay, oil leaks, etc (general turbo health check).
