Big problem!

When I was driving my TTA today I felt/heard a weird noise (unexplainable), and about five seconds later the engine light came on. It didn't seem to bother it too much, other than when I'd go WOT, it would peg the boost gauge and the car wouldn't go anywhere. It didn't do it every time though.

And then, after about 200 more miles of driving, the engine light started to flicker on and off and intermittenly.......sometimes it would stay on for a little while, sometimes the light would go away........but when it would flicker, the car would get real jerky.......almost like there's no spark.

And ideas??? Any help is much appreciated.
 
jump the aldl with a paperclip and count the number of flashes the ses light gives. sounds like it could be a coil pack. Happened to me once.
Got a ohm meter? ohm out the coil pack.

Thanks for the tip! I will do exactly that!
