top end problems help

efr 6758 here i come
hi everyone not sure if its a problem i got with my lcr but when driving top speed my boost drops an picks back up an drops again an picks back up, my car will rev past 6k in 1st to 4th but when i put it in 6th an rev it hard it feels like the cars limited an dropping boost it then builds back up again. it takes forever to get the car reving at 6000rpm in 6th gear. it happens from about 4500 rpm. im going back to germany in a few weeks so am hoping to have the problem sorted in time before i go. i notice my boost goes from my normal holding of 18-19 psi.it drops to about 12-14 then builds back up an to about 16 an then drops again. anyone got any ideas of what the problem could be? car feels fine in 1st-4th gear.....

its only doing this at topend speeds

thankyou

Sounds like a job for VAG com first to see whats happening.
Doesn't seem to point toward anything I have read about before

dont think it could be anything to do with high tempertures cause engines running a lot on boost for a long time. its hard to do them speeds over here in uk so would be difficult to do logs. could it be 007 is dropping pressure then building back up. not sure what could be.
it will go to 160 plus but its like the cars dumping boost then building it back up. anyone please help,

maybe faulty n75 or MAF??? ANYONE????
