from leaking boost, to your ECM not reading the chip or flash correctly.... then just the number of mechanical issues that could have failed are long standing.

its hard to say, we'd have to see it and hear it to even be able to begin

Sounds like a clogged fuel filter. Under vacuum or low boost there isn't enough obstruction to see a problem but once you really start asking for fuel it can't flow enough and you're losing power.

Another potential issue is the GReddy blowoff valve you're using. Get rid of it right now and use an aftermarket diverted valve to avoid those rich spikes you're getting every time you shift...which are slowly clogging your cat and fouling your injectors and may well have gotten with of those shitted up enough to cause the issues you're having. Blowoffs are fine for some cars. Turbo Audis aren't on that list. You can take that to the bank.
