Just cant figure this out

alright ill try and explain my problem best i can... i always let my car warm up for 10 mins wether it makes me late for something or not! ... for the first 10 mins of "driving" not hard but not ***** either.. the car seems to run great, then all of a sudden when i try and accelerate i get a loss in power and very noticable popping... the engine gains rpms and turbo screams and only a lil gain in speed, when this first happened about 2 weeks ago the first thing i did was swap the plugs and change the fuel filter, oil in the car and oil filter ( general maintenance ) at first the new spark plugs seemed to correct the problem... i noticed alot more tork then before i changed them, and generally the car was just running better... even strong up the hill to my house which a day earlier i had to pull over to the side to make er up! ... anyway the problem is still here...after 10 - 15 mins of driving she "bogs and pops" and ideas???

could fuel be my problem, maybe its time for new injectors?

i own a S5 JDM TurboII, cone air filter, rb turbo back exhaust... other then that the car is stock... alot of goodies waiting but car needs to run better first

please help!! thanx

I wonder if the TPS is flaking out on this guy. I had one that had prettymuch died that was acting this way.
