Smile Throttle % Problems

Hello everyone! I've been out of the 7 world for a while, but I'm back!!! Anyway...I just fired up the 7 today and drove it around. Gotta love that bov! There is a problem however. After a certain throttle %, the car won't spray gas. I didn't have an eye on my safc to read what % that is, but I would guess around 50% throttle and the car starts to give up. Could this be a problem with the tps? the fcd? Anyone heard of this before? Help would be much obliged!

It's very unlikely it's either the TPS or grounds.

Check for ECU error codes. Sounds like limp mode...
