Hi all,

anyone know what thats all about??

any help would be much appreciated:)

I'm beginning to sound like an old record, but have you logged the boost on the car with vag-com, while this is happening? Could be a dying clutch as jcs356 said, as I see no reason for your turbo to be dependant on your gear selection by that much :unsure:
 
On a different note, you only live round the corner from me dj-s3, i know random :)
