In that long (rule breaking) list of mods, you don’t mention what kind of boost controller you have.
I’d say with all those exhaust and intake mods, to still only be making 8psi (dropping to 5psi) means your turbo is completely stuffed. I make 8psi to redline with a cat-back and a filter.

The Throttle body mod is VOODOO.
Anyone that has a clean, well tuned car will see no difference.
Anyone that has a noticable difference is inadvertantly cleaning and fixing somthing else in the process of the MOD.
I have yet to see verifyable proof that is a performance gain.
Take a perfect running car, stock TB.
Dyno the thing 3 times.
Then replace ONLY the TB with a modded one.
Dyno the thing 3 times.
See the results.
I bet there is NO difference.

Secondly, nobody ever claimed a huge power or boost increase from doing this, although removal of any airflow restriction will have a some effect. The TB mod improves throttle response, because the secondary throttles open fully the instant you push the pedal, instead of the first set of throttles opening slowly. You can't measure throttle response on a dyno.

S4 or S5, with those mods, there should a lot more boost. That's why I think the turbo's the problem.

The Turbo inlet duct modification, as I'm understanding it correctly, makes your air compressor side of the turbocharger considerably more efficient. It should increase the turbocharger's response time (and then therefore the engine's boost curve as well as widened torque curve) and put you into the seat a little earlier on. As far as losing high end power, I doubt thta would happen entirely. Infact, I bet it's the other way around. When I had the stock turbocharger setup w/ some basic mods nearly 4 years ago, I did this very modification and had good results from it.
The Throttle Body mod (the mod that has to do with removing the secondary plates) is more about throttle response than anything else. Now, if you're talking about the real modification to the TBody, then that's something all together different. =)

Haven't we ALL heard this
So what does the power feel like. Does it feel like an engine recieving low boost?
Maybe the boost gauge is inaccurate. Where is it getting boost/vac info?

full exhaust, TID, Intake? You should be up closer to 10 - 11 psi with some spikes reaching all the way to 13. I had spikes all the way to 15psi on cold nights on full exhaust and intake on a S4 turbo but thats because the wastegate on S4 is
