I had a bad boost leak on my 1.8t ended up being the small hose either to the boost gauge or boost controller (cant remember)just before the firewall. Leaks can be a real pita to find.

check you boost pressure sensor might be shorting out...... then check the intake book that happened to me and if you have the water meth kit check the meth injectors

There is a DIY on vortex for checking a boost...the downside u will need a compressor!

What u could do is while the car is running, just move different vacuum/boost lines around! Thats how i managed to find a pretty big rip in one of my hoses!
