I used to have this problem. I did a normal tuneup. I changed spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, all fluids & oils. And all other general maintenance that you would do. I haven't had the problem since. Oh I had a small boost leak, when I performed a boost leak test.

Hope this helps. Stay boostin!!!
 
I just picked up the car after looking around for one for a few months, it's a 1997 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD, the car has 73,*** miles on it. The timing belt and all the general maintenence has been completed. When going WOT the car shudders once or twice then starts pulling smoothly to redline. When gently laying into the gas the car will pull all the way to redline without any shuddering what so ever. Is this normal or am just being paranoid. John
