Sounds like timing was pulled and thus the loss of boost.

I would assume it's likely the RUF car programming does not have the 1.3 bar throttle body shut down that comes with stock programming. If it does this may be an issue for you at 1.3 - 1.4 bar.

His TT has seen alot of snow and has about 30,000KM on it.
