Thanks for the help up to now, when/if it starts again I'll bridge the n75 and then write back the results but I'll make a new thread and link it. Again, thanks for the advice :)

In fact, come to think of it I am quite sure this all started when I reconnected a broken hose that has been disconnected/broken for god knows how long. I have owned the car for 12 months and only just seen this broken hose 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure but I think it was the acutator, I just...

Justarn, did you ever manage to figure out the boost problem? I am having the exact same issue on my 99 APY S3. 1st and 2nd are fine then 3rd is fine all the way up to 4000rpm and then no boost, sometimes it is fine all the way through to 6th but the majority of the time it's not so good. I hear...
