yes it did i just drove it again and it does it now in most of the gear from that range right around when it hits full boost it pins you back in your seat then it feels like someone hit the brakes.....if it was the maf sensor what would i need to do to fix it just replace it or what??

hmm I have no clue about the vag com meanings. I just know from past experience what it feels like to have a bad maf sensor because i've had to replace mine on my old b6 probably 5 times in two years. ANNOYING! when you boost it feels like someone hittin the brakes really hard and then the rpms cut out. That to me is a dead give away that its a maf sensor. I would take it in somewhere asap just to be sure. Maf sensors usually cost around 200 bucks or so..fyi. I dont think you can actually fix it without having to replace the actual sensor but I could be wrong. Everytime I took it in..it needed to be replaced but who knows...tuner shop could have been rippin me off.

ok if you are havin misfires could be a bad ignition coil that needs replaced. Not too expensive.

Don't take it to the stealership, swap out the coilpack on cylinder 2 with another and see if the misfires follow the coil pack. If that's not it, it's most likely the ICM

Had the same problem with mine. Turned out to be EGT sensors (as someone already stated). pretty expensive but fixed the problem.
Although vag-com should have pointed that out.
