it will be your plugs (which you should replace if they've not been done in the last 10k miles) or, failing that, a dodgy coil pack (replace). I've had the problem twice (misfire when accelerating) first time it was plugs, second time a coil pack  :happy2:
done the dipstick test and it runs poorly with it out so I presume that's ok.

Run a VCDS scan, a fault code is usually logged when it goes into limp mode!

It could be many things. It could be a faulty n75 valve that deals with the boost. Though id perhaps take it to a garage to diagnose rather than guessing what it might be.
