I have a s5 turbo 2 and I recently removed my air control valve and air pump and installed the block off plate. Since then my car is running rich as sin itself and struggling to boost. It feels like I have a boost leak but I can't seem to find one. Should I try taking out the entire rats nest? All I did was take off the acv and put caps on the hard lines that were going to it. Any help would be great.

it could be leaking from the upper right corner of the blockoff plate. There is a passageway that leads into the intake manifold there.

I was told to cover the whole block off plate with rtv so that the passageways didn't pull from one another, I pulled it off once, It can't hurt to pull it off and check again though.

i checked it out and it doesn't appear to be leaking from there. should i just remove the entire rats nest and see if that fixes the problem?

Im debating on doing the same thing. Im also getting fuel cut like crazy tho. I just installed a boost controller and now cant get it to go over 5psi without getting fuel cut when it used to run 8 no problem.
