Default MIL light on. Help with codes please

So suddenly my MIL light turns on as im driving with no symtpoms of the car running any different.

So i hooked up my computer with my VCDS software and ran an auto-scan.
Heres what it came up with:

Address 01: Engine Labels: 078-907-551-AZA.lbl
Part No: 4B0 907 551 AL
Component: 2.7l V6/5VT G 0001
Coding: 06752
Shop #: WSC 25168
VCID: 6ED9245C0011
WAULD64B62N094985 AUZ7Z0A2033784

3 Faults Found:
17887 - Brake Boost Vacuum System: Mechanical Failure
P1479 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16805 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0421 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16815 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 2: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0431 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Readiness: 0000 0000

Address 16: Steering wheel Labels: 4B0-907-487.lbl
Part No: 4B0 907 487 H
Component: Lenkradelektronik D01
Coding: 01012
Shop #: WSC 02325
VCID: 3163FF20D1AF

1 Fault Found:
01749 - Switch for Tiptronic in Steering Wheel (E439); Down
30-10 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent

Any thoughts on the subject or experience with similar codes will be appreciated. I was wondering if it it was an o2 sensor problem or the cats.
Please and thank you!

The O2 thresholds sound like a winter gas problem. Clear them and buy better gas.
Brake boost vacuum system? Interesting. Does the car brake fine? It could just be a bad sensor.

The steering wheel code won't give a MIL so ignore it.

Good luck on the vacuum issue.

I have noticed that sometimes when i am coming to a stop the car will not stop right away and it almost seems like it will try to start accelerating again.
it does it for a couple seconds then stops.
not sure what the brake vaccum is tho
