My 2004 Jetta TDI recently starting having intermittent loss of Turbo and then it failed all together. The check engine light finally came on and threw codes P0101 and P0299.
P0101 is MAF
P0299 is Underboost
I did some looking around and found my lower duct on the intercooler is looking a little separated and the O-Ring is blown out.

I read somewhere that around 130k miles these things do tend to get loose. The car has 135k miles on it.
My question is, would this be the main problem causing the MAF error and loss of Turbo? Could there be another underlying problem that caused this boost leak? I would hate to get this all replaced and fixed and find out we failed to address the real cause.
Thanks.
