Thank Sonic, I will be sure to let my mechanic know to use that part.
Is it that easy to blow the DV? I didn't know...

I also imagine that this is an issue with the B5/6?s - was this still a prob. on the 2.0T FSI /B7 engines?

Use a smoke machine to find the leak. No boost could be almost anything.
The ECM has stored a code, run with that.
Leaking smoke will give you a visual indication of where to look.
Non OEM turbo by-pass valves (blow-off) only make noise and do nothing for turbo lag.

Well DV's are not nesacarily easy to blow but, in my case, and it seems you are in the same situation, i blew mine b4 even being chipped. The 710P under hard driving will blow. Its designed for a very smooth boost.
