Just wanted to circle back to this, turns out I had an injector going bad. I went to Volkswagen since I was 500 miles shy of being outside my 36K bumper to bumper warranty. All four new injectors and a manual carbon cleaning for my new K04! She purrs like a kitten now at idle, much smoother, power delivery is omg/turbo/thisisfun!
