I was going off ramp at 77km/hr and when the road straighten out I was accelerating but the car suddenly cut the fuel and boggle down. it was intermittent so the car was pulsing for a few second. I backed off the gas and it was fine after. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Did you replace your spark plugs and coilpacks after you went stage 2? It so replace them immediately its a common problem when people first tune their cars.
sorry totally forgot to include that I do have R8 coil packs and pre-gapped pfr7s8eg ngk spark plugs
Just got an error code today P2293 Fuel pressure regulator 2 performance. From my research online it seems like its the high pressure fuel pump going out... Called local dealers and they advised that VW will flag it and I will have to pay for diagnostics as well as all the parts and labor.
its tuned and VW said it will flag the car if I bring it in. they will also have to charge me diagnostic fee and repair charges .
It sounds like VW is far stricter outside the US? What country do live in if you don't mind sharing as you listed km/hr vs mph. Perhaps other members from the area can chime in, I know typically VW has to prove that your tune directly caused the issue to not want to cover the work. Hope someone can shed some insight from your neck of the woods on "Earth".
i had my fuel pump relpaced last year under warranty . tuned also. they never say anything about my tuned. try another dealer.

Can you run stock mode? I'm tuned, went to a dealer (in stock mode), told them I had a tune, but they said nothing was flagged and did the work (water pump replacement) under warranty
They dont need to plug in for water pump replacement, I had mine replaced too.
Thanks for the link, I found a cheaper place to get it too, just want to make sure it is the high pressure fuel pump. It seems like it is likely the pump but it could be sensors according to the internet..
