Default Sigh, I think I have tranny problems, any assistance would be greatly appreciated

long story short, I had a new turbo installed oh 3 weeks ago, and I had some surging in 5th, and now 4th. Starting last night, I couldn't go above 3rd gear (tiptronic) otherwise 4th and 5th will make the "tranny screen" invert colors and i have no control at all, and have to pull over and restart the car to be able to drive. I'm gonna try to pull codes off the car tonight because the check engine light has been coming on every now and then since yesterday. anyone have any ideas?
