For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I bet they have VAG COM
I use OBD Eleven
Does that give really detailed diagnostics? I’ve got a GTI that’s showing a P0299 underboost code that’s still around after swapping the turbo and I double checked everything and have no idea what to try next.
I have OBDeleven and have used VCDS a couple of times.
OBDeleven does give detailed diagnostics but any coding, testing or adaptations are locked behind a not so cheap subscription.
I honestly regret buying it, much rather pay a bit more for vcds and not have to do the subscription thing
Yeah the subscription sucks, but once the adaptions are done you don’t really need it.
Does VCDS have an app integration?
One model works with phones, haven't tried that one though.
Yeah except the testing. I fixed the hvac and tried to do adaptations, had to pay for a full year subscription again.
I guess it depends on how much you mess around with your car.
I really just need to get more info than “low boost” so would I need a subscription?
Not for that, no. Reading codes from all modules and all live data monitoring are free. You should be fine without a subscription
Thanks!
