RS3 boost dropping back

Hi guys,
new 2016 RS3 owner here, only had the car a week, bog standard and bought from main dealer with 30k on the clock.

I have run into an intermittent boost issue, if gunning it hard 2 to 3 to 4th, the boost occasionally drops back 4k rpm and kicks back in higher up the rev range - as if its being pulled back by the ECU.

I purchased a genuine VCDS cable and have the following from the Engine ECU.
Its the first time I used VCDS so still figuring out how it all works, normally I would plan to erase the codes and see what re-appears, but I was planning on taking it back to the dealer to resolve as it has 2 yrs warrenty.

Are any of the below to worry about or random ones that can appear?
Thanks in advance
