Is you car remapped?has your dv been changed?
Have you checked on vag for faults and done measure the blocks for boost duty?

when i had this problem it was only between 18-21psi. Something as drastic as 12-20psi seems quite bad.

check the usual, boost pipes etc, make sure none of them are loose or leaking. Check the forge DV over, see if it needs regreasing/servicing.

and what i mean about the boost is that i can floor it and the boost will go right up then i can let off and then when i floor it again it might lose about 6-8 psi it has been changing near enough every time i put my foot down

well the only way to check would be vag, using blocks 115 , actual vs requested.
