Default Turbo Cut-Out @ 4200 RPM......

Drivin a little fast with my friends. Noticed that @ or around 4200 RPM it felt like my turbos just stopped producing any boost. Fuel seemed to run a little strong like it was expecting the boost and was a bit groggy to accelerate. I dont have a vag but if somone in the Austin area could let me use theirs I would be most grateful. Any suggestions in the meantime?

Default Your sig says you installed the 710Ns and K&N a coupla days ago.

If the filter clogged (too much oil), that wouldn't help. Maybe, and I hope not, but maybe it got some excess oil on the MAF and it's cutting out because it's not seeing the airflow it should. That's a total shot in the dark.
How did the install go on the 710Ns? Did you start having this problem right after you installed them?

Default I'm always hesitant about cleaning the MAF, just because it is a very sensitive part.

Those were just thoughts that maybe it had started immediately. Still...
At any rate, I agree with Zeus, and I'd check for leaks as well. Get someone to VAG your car for codes. Or, buy a VAG. Best $300 you'll ever spend for it.
