    I was thinking of something like this (not an Audi but you get the idea) where the boost is taken from the manifold so its reading the pressure into the head rather than from the Turbo. Suppose you could have one from each so you can see any difference!?!

      There is no difference at full throttle whether you take the pressure at the IM or at the Turbo unless your intercooler is clogged.
      Trying to take the pressure from the same hose that goes to the N75 valve is a very, very bad idea, because if that goes wrong you'll need a new engine.

      Seriously.
      Pull codes, pressurize intake. If you can't do that, contact someone who can.

          I can tell you where not to install it:
          Feed that is connected to the FPR, preferrably also not the feed that is connected to ecu, although everyone does this.
