Hey All - I've had a few issues with my car and I hope to thoroughly document them below to see if we can figure out the problem and get to a fix
B8.5 2.0T A5
37,000 Miles
Outside of Warranty
Modifications and Install Date:
RS Grill (6/3/2016)
RocEuro Intake (6/14/2016)
034 High Flow Cat (7/2/2016)
AWE Touring Exhaust (7/2/2016)
H&R Coilovers & Alignment (7/2/2016)
Stage 2 Tune (7/2/2016)
Issues:
Scenario 1 - The night of the tune + mods
On the night of 7/2/2016 after driving about 4 hours (two 2 hour trips) since picking the car up from NGP (install shop), I was at the top of 2nd gear and the car felt like it hit a brick wall. Pushed forward into the seat belt with immediate power loss. The dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and I put clutch in and idle was shaky at 1k rpm. I saw an error of TPMS showing up on the dash. I pull over and kill the motor, wait a minute, restart. The only error I see is a TPMS exception and I head off with the car seeming to be fine. After about 300 feet the TPMS error goes away. I run the VAGCOM for codes and get the following:
4698 - Function Restriction due to Faults in Other Modules

I search around on the forums and don't find anything in particular. I clear the codes chalking it up to the ECU freaking out after the tune and me driving a bit too hard. Maybe I hit redline (I don't think I did) and I should just chill out. I contacted NGP and they said to clear codes and let us know if it happens again.
Scenario 2 - The re-occurrence
The other day, 10 days later from the first instance on 7/12/2016, I was driving to work and in the car for about 40 minutes just driving normally. I was coming off a ramp and was at about 80% throttle in 3rd gear and about 4k RPM the car felt like it hit a brick wall. Pushed forward into the seat belt with immediate power loss. The dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and I put clutch in and idle was shaky at 1k rpm. I saw an error of TPMS showing up on the dash. I pull over and kill the motor, wait a minute, restart. The only error I see is a TPMS exception and I head off with the car seeming to be fine. After about 300 feet the TPMS error goes away. I run the VAGCOM for codes and get the following:

So from what I can see, the same thing happened twice about 10 days apart. I got two of the same error codes 4698 (Function Restriction due to Faults in Other Modules) and 4624 (Engine Torque Monitor 2) both times; however, I additionally got 2837 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure) at the same time. Looking at the Error I also got a misfire on cylinder 1 a few days earlier on 7/8 that I have no recollection of.
Would love if you guys could help me out here.
Thanks,
KD
