I dont know about the dump valve, but the flat spots sound like a failing MAF sensor.  You can pick them up for between ?100-?200.

Even without running a diagnostic i'd be 95% sure its your MAF up the stuff, exactly the same as when mine went. Get an exchange unit from the dealership for ?75 ish or try GSF car parts, frosticles may be able to tell you the price for a 1.8T AGU MAF sensor.
Replace the DV with a forge recirc, either direct from forge motorsport or one of the tuners listed in the links on the www.golfgti.co.uk main page.
