sounds like your air flow meter isn't reading right and your car might be going into limp mode.

Make sure its at the right angle!

(sorry I can't help more, I don't know much about the old air flow meters)

There is no "limp mode" on S4 cars. Sounds like the 2ndary injectors are not firing, have you checked the wiring to the injectors?

Yeah, you've got one of the 2ndary injector plugs loose or making a poor connection, or a wiring problem elsewhere. THis is exactly what happens when you run with no 2ndary injectors...extreme loss of powre at 3600rpm at 1/4 throttle or more.
