Default Car jerks after ECU was flashed to the performance program

I recently had the ECU flashed to the performance mode on my 2003 Audi A4 1.8T. While driving at about 45pmh and i let off the gas, the rpm's drop to 2000, i hit the gas again so i speed up again, the car jerks like its jumping into another gear. i didnt see any codes while using VAG-COM. Is there anyone that is having this problem or has an idea to what the problem could be. 2003

IMHO, Ive heard sometimes Flashed ECU's do that, thats why it is recommended to like have a break in period for a bout 100 miles (dont rev yourcar to often and dont drive it hard) so Flash gets "in a contact with" your ECU ))
Might be your plugs too, cause now u have more stress on your engine.
Check out here, AMZE had some problems with his ECU whe he got Flashed.

I think it is 0.28, i've heard that "The nominal range for the 1.8t is .028-.032 but that differs for some plugs and setups."
By the way, ifu search on forums u will find a lot of useful info
