have you tried using any injection cleaner? I had a similar problem on a 2.5tdi and it was doing also doing it in the upper rev range. poured the injection cleaner in and the problem has been solved.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like you are running rich. Check for codes even though the check engine light isn't on.

Don't take it to the dealership. Go to an Autozone and ask them to scan it for codes. Post them back here.

When you floor the car, does the transmission downshift?

Check for a leak on your system between from airfilter to turbo. if there is a leak, you will deff. run rich.

you can use seafoam to clean your injectors. you can find it in any auto store.
