Are you in full automatic or using the buttons/shifter? The tt has features to keep you from doing bad things to your engine/trans. Wouldn't surprise me if it was something with that.

When I power break it (trying to launch!!). At about 3grand it almost stalls.
Brake boosting? As in, gas and brake at the same time? ECU steps in and shuts you down. Engine protection.

Try a bottle of dry gas/heet/fuel system de-icer next time you fill it up. Water and gas don't mix, but water and alcohol do, and gas and alcohol do, so the dry gas (alcohol) sucks up the water, which mixes freely with the gas, so you dont end up pumping little blobs of straight water to your injectors.

When its near or below freezing, its a good idea to try to keep your tank near full to reduce surface area in the tank where water can condense.

Since it seems to be fine, you probably pushed the fuel out of the sump. Havent seen anyone have this happen to them

Eurodyne and Uni chips eliminate the ecu interaction so you can do it.

Only people that confirmed doing it was uni and tapp guys. If thats something you really are looking to do (not even needed with a stock turbo) then go with uni
