Boost leak. Maybe coil. My mates a3 use to do this but am sure his was a boost pipe popping off

Coil pack as a guess

Coilpack is what my coil stood for. Thinkin bout it the 1.8t suffer from this when u start doing stuff to them don't they

Very common failure, check and see if the recall covers it.

As has been said, more than likely a coilpack!
