yeah, that's odd.
the reason why i ask about the park and listen is because when my vaccum hose had a small hole, i hear big whistling/hissing sound.

I would definitely do a boost leak test. There are many different ways to set up a tester from PVC piping to a tennis ball.
Here is one with piping :: a4mods.com :: - The Premiere Audi A4 Modification Guide and Pictures Library and another DIY: ALL 1.8T - Boost Leak Tester, and here is one from a tennis ball VWVortex.com - DIY Boost Leak Tester.

Hey all, so my check engine light came on and started misfiring like crazy last night. It seems to be ok now, but I took it to a shop and he says I need to replace my vacuum hose. I was quoted around $230. Am I being overcharged? Would this be an easy DIY project?

An update on this issue. Here are videos of someone with the same problem. He has not found a solution either.
Maybe someone on here knows what is going on.
