Scanners are crap you need to use proper vagcom half codes i have through vagcom does not show on scanner i have.

Could be number of thigs,maf , coil packs, throttle body needing cleaning, etc

What kind of turbo intake pipe do you have? The stock ones are weaker and can suck flat under boost after a remap. Might be something to check..
