What is wrong with my car!!!!!

So about a month ago i realized that if i took my car up to 7000 rpm (when i usually shift when i get on it) and before i got to 7000 it hit a brick wall. I got to about 6900 and then is just stops. The engine cuts out. Every time it happens i let off the gas. My rev limiter is at 7100. Up till a month or so ago it always went up that far. I'm pretty sure its a misfire. I have a code of random misfire. I have bkr7es in now. I replaced them around Christmas time. Before i had something like pfr6q I think? It ran good before that. I never really get on my car so i don't really know exactly when this started to happen. It could be the plugs i haven't been able to pull them yet. I have a gt28rs turbo kit with pes giac big turbo software. I could log the car but i don't know anyone with vag com. Any info would be nice. This problem still occurs till today. It wont go any further than 6900. Thanks

Where in PA are you, my buddy could log it if you are close enough, we're in Greensburg/Latrobe.

Change your spark plugs. Does it make it to the rev limiter in nuetral, or is it hitting the wall still with no load on the motor?

I live outside of lansdale.

Thats a good idea. I havent tried to rev my car up that far in neutral. I will try that and then post back...

Update: I put four brand new bkr7e spark plugs in. I gapped them to .28. I had also changed my oil. I checked to see if it would let me rev up to 7100. It didn't! It wont do it under load or even just sitting at idle. I need to figure this out and it is pissing me off so bad! Maybe my maf is on its way out. I run pretty much black smoke under wot. So im running rich of some sort. any ideas?
