I've tried VW for recall no luck
I think I've seen Throttle body cleaner in halfords, it sometimes hesitates and then pulls really fast does that sound like the throttle body?

What diverter valve are you running? Sound like when my OEM one split.

lambda can also cause this. You need a VAG COM scan to make sure

My guess is split diaphragm in the DV. Either get a forge 007p or 008 or the new revision OEM 710 vag DV
