Throwing codes and going limp, time for some viagra?

Well, silly me thinking my car was running fine for the past two months, something new had to creep up.

Here are the codes I'm currently throwing, someone with a Bentley manual, please shed some insight. The car is going limp (5psi) at intermittient times, usually on the highway at half throttle!
Here are the codes:

17965 Charge Pressure Control: Positive Deviation
16490 Manifold/Barometric Pressure Sensor (g71) Implausible Signal
16620 Manifold Pressure / Boost Sensor (g31) Implausible Signal

I'm thinking it might be the "thrust sensor" aka MAP sensor? Any help would be great

So you're limp and not performing up to spec because of your thrust sensor?

WOw.

You can check the connection to your MAP sensor....it's a plug right next...

to the throttle body.

Vag Com...could be MAF

what are measuring blocks 32 and 2? any misfires? run WOT to 3000 rpm 2nd gear measuring blocks 115 and114 and post results of mg/s and duty cycle. Probably a MAF but less likely a bad charge air pressure sensor.
