Boosting Problems......Please Help!

I havent hooked her up to a VAG-COM yet, but my chipped 1.8t as of late has been shuttering and cutting out under full boost. Part throttle accel and cruising are uneffected, but, it seems like there is more of a delay when requesting boost than before, but does come on strong once it starts boosting. I just replaced my fuel filter thinking it might be cloged and leaning it out to much under boost, but this is not the case. I dont believe to have any vac leaks, and I did check and clean my dv so now I am not sure what my next move should be. Any good advice would be very appreciated at this point.

I had the same problem, I took it in and I needed the updated timing belt and they also cleaned the throttle body, and that seemed to fix it, do you have the updated timing belt?

Re: Boosting Problems......Please Help!

i had a similar problem when i first chipped my car...the car would sputter and check engine light would flash. a nasty rattle too on a cold start. i needed a cam shaft tensioner. that fixed the problem.
