alright so i gota 95 tsi. almost all completely stock as of now besides the fact of having a different exhaust. but to the point.. i will start the car up it'll idol fine but as soon as i get it to about 3k the car starts sputtering and gets real bucky. then ill come to a stop and push the clutch in and it'l die on me. i have all the clamps tightened so im pretty sure its not a boost leak, i just bought new wires. but if anyone can help me out itd be great.
 
+1 on spark plugs and wires. Maybe fuel pump/filter/injectors. And def. do a boost leak test

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Changed the spark plugs...No more sputtering.
