On the way to get dynod last night, and the car stranded me!

I was cruising along, and then POP!! A few backfires and the car starts stumbling. I kill it, and coast off to the side of the road. Pull out the vagcom and check the codes (below). I'm in the middle of nowhere at about 11pm. Odd enought I'm exactly 110 miles from my origin and 110 miles from my destination, great! I immediately call a tow truck. The service station is about 4 miles ahead. I start the car again, and the car wont accellerate over 5 mph even at WOT. Luckily I can baby back to the service station.

I get to the service plaza and toss the gas station attendant a $20 to use a jack and some jack stands so I can look under the car and see if there is any obvious problems. It was dark, and I couldnt see anything aparent. No completly blown off boost hoses or anything. I tried getting the car to work b uplugging the maf with no luck.

I continued to wait for the tow truck, which arrived around 3 AM, and had the car towed back to my house.

So, here are the codes - Any help you guys can offer would be great! I'm trying to fix quickly so I can grab parts from the audi dealer which closes at 2ish.

2 Faults Found:
16622 - Manifold Pressure / Boost Sensor (G31): Signal too High
P0238 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16490 - Manifold / Barometric Pressure Sensor (G71) / (F96): Implausible Signal
P0106 - 35-00 - -

Where should I start??

The symptoms sound almost exactly the same, though I didn't have a VAG to check the codes before it got fixed. When this happened, I believe it was the hose that attaches to the throttle body, so it was pretty obvious.

Sounds like an IC/Charge Hose popped.

Noose

just look under the hood while car is running and you can usually hear it.

to me. from over boosting the MAP sensor. but that would mean you would need to be over 1.5 bar with a requested of somewhere around 1.4 or less.
