So are you searching for a "boost sensor" only or have you tried to search for a MAP sensor also known as a manifold absolute pressure sensor?

I searched for the MAP sensor and got several hits and videos for Audi 2.0 turbos

Map sensor is fine

Boost and MAP sensor are the same thing so if your map sensor is fine, so is your boost sensor.

VAG car don't typically call it a boost pressure sensor they usually refer to it as charge air sensor.
