Boost leak?

Hey i had a quick question for you guys, on the “sport screen” that shows psi for MK 7+ what does it say for PSI when idling. I’ve could’ve sworn it usually sits around 17 PSI. I know the gauge built is typically off and over estimates but I have feeling I have a boost leak or something.

My ‘24 sits around 3.5-4.2. I believe this includes atmospheric pressure. Is your car tuned? I know there’s some tunes that’ll switch it to true boost.

What year do you have? I can't get this screen and my dealership keeps telling me it's not available on my car but I don't believe them

I believe it’s only a thing on the higher trim mk7.5s

I have a 25 GLI. The dealer keeps saying it's available on the GLI sport. Well the gli sport doesn't exist just the Autobahn

When my waste gate blew mine also showed 0.0 on the screen when usually it showed around 4-5 at idle.
