So about two days ago my fd got a boost leak (assuming because I can hear air leaking when I boost) and would not boost past 6psi. So I pressurized the system and could not hear any leaking air. I went ahead and checked all the hoses and made sure they were tight and the car would still only make 6psi. Next I removed the throttle body and checked the gaskets and they were in fine condition. After reassembling everything I went to start the car and now its got a very rough idle and is pouring blue smoke and still wont boost past 6psi. Any ideas?

Bump, could use some help here.

possibly blown turbo seals....turbos are leaking on the inside, cant produce as much boost and blowby oil is the blue

hey If it wasnt ideling rough and smoking before you took throttle body off you have probably just bumpd or pulled off the hose from the boost sensor I think ? And if you think its a boost leak that you have, I could only generate 4 to 6 psi once and it turned out to be one of the big 3" (maybe) hoses on the intercooler had splt, have to take them off to check properly, I replaced mine and was sweet after that,
