Hi.

Get it checked out by a specialist, depending on where you live. Could try QST South, MRC central, Unit 20 NW, JJB Motors can't recall!

Pressure check the turbos. Get the camshafts checked for wear.
Cambelt/pump, etc changed?

A faulty MAF is a common problem which can cause more problems to the lambdas and egt sensers as stumpy said go to a specialist for a health check which will find any fault or boost leak with your car DO NOT go to the audi dealers they havent got a clue about these cars !

MRC is just up the road from Toddington in Banbury - get the car over there for a health check.

If the car is standard and in good health, invest in a re-map - it'll transform the way the car drives.

Oh, and enjoy!
