A big leak...>>

Hoses don't usually blow off stock cars though. Check the throttle body hose where it joins the plastic MAP holder just in front of, and below the battery...

Do you have any smoke from the exhaust or engine bay?

Wastegate?

I know they had problems with the integrated wastegates on the early K03s but should have been fixed long before the TT was released. My '97 A4 killed its wastegate and I experienced the same symptoms you describe.
