Thanks, nyamg. Interesting--I don't think it's just a coincidence that this exhaust with an upgraded ecu causes the hoses to blow right off. I'm afraid it's going to happen again. Are yours holding up or did you make some modifications?

Mine haven't come off again, but I also don't have an ecu upgrade.
I'm having the same problem but my tt is completly stock except for BMC filter. I haven't seen pass 13psi at WOT even in Sport mode. Once in a while i get a 3 second lag before it take off. My tt have less than 5k mile on it. I checked all the hoses and it seen to be on, nothing is lose. what could be wrong with it??
One of my hoses that goes into the throttle body was loose, and the metal clamps were broken. Was hard to detect as something that was in front of that hose had to be removed first, before one could have access to the hose.

I've had this happen a few times and at first it was kind of scary but these things sometimes take a bit to settle. As others have said it is almost for sure a loose hose connection and easily fixed. It happens. I'd take it back to the installer - for sure! Most likely they will make sure they fix it for you. Why would the dealer repair someone else's product that was installed by someone else - and if they do they will most certainly charge you for it.
Good luck - that boost will come back full force. Count on it.
