[s-cars] cars] Momentary cut out under full boost

[FvAMI at aol.com]

Robert,

Yes, it could be a lot of things ... however a 0 Speed reading is not 
expected in any circumstance you described.

Aaron informed me he believed the speed went to 0 before the cutoff. Even if 
it happened during the cutoff that still is not correct.

The speed sensor and connection may be the first place to look. 

I don't know what the ECU will do (if anything) if all of a sudden it is 
producing 25 PSI of boost at 50 MPH and suddenly the speed (seen by the ECU) drops 
to 0. But the Audi engineers may look at that as some type of serious 
situation and cut the fuel ... don't know ...

Best regards,
Feico van der Laan
