So i'm driving home and the car starts losing power and shifting hard werid (Tiptroinc)
Also seems to not have any boost. What could it be? the car only has 20K miles should I just take it in and see what they say? should I pull all after market parts of or just leave them in? DAMN this sucks :confused:

A bad MAF will cause the ESP and CEL to light but, given your description, that is a total shot in the dark.
I agree with the earlier comment... VAG it.

Have you looked under the hood? Probably popped a hose off.

Well i got it VAG and it has the following codes
18032 - MIL Request signal active
P1624-35-00--
01166 - Engine Torque Signal
03-00- No signal
What are they and should they be covered under the warrenty?

The first one means that something other than the engine ecu asked to turn on the check engine light.
The second one has to do with your tranny. If it's under warranty, I'd get it to the dealer. Tiptronic trannies ain't cheap.
