boost leak check...goes out exhaust

[Jasper16g]

I was performing a boost leak check tonite and I noticed the car would not hold boost on the gauge, it would go to 1 or 2 psi and quickly fall. I then noticed that it was not even going into the pipes. I had my girlfriend check the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car and it was blowing air out of it as I put it in. The car runs fine and boosts 20 psi, but this has me worried that the boost would go out the exhaust. Last tme I did a check (about 2 weeks ago) it worked fine, and It would hold boost on the gauge fine.

The car is a 95 tsi and it has a pte 50 trim.

Thanks,

Jason

You happened to catch a cylinder on valve overlap. Bump it a bit, and the intakes or exhausts will close up.

Or, your valves are all bent and/or burned.
