Maybe it falls under the lemon law?

Yeap, I've looked online and those forums, That's the problem with having such a unique, 5k produced car. No errors in the computer etc. The tech is actually my best friends friend. Was a bit miffed when he didn't believe me at first. He did call the VW tech line he has. He is a certified master tech if that means anything more than just typical tech.
I've not taken it anywhere extra specialized because I havn't been able to swing a $600 bill and maybe not fix anything. Some thoughts were heat, so figured now off warranty if I can this summer Cold Air intake, mild turbo, tune, etc by luck might fix.
Worst part is I basically have to blow $20 in gas driving around a lot to even hope to start getting it to reproduce. And as I said if I go and park it, may have to same thing all over again to get it to continue.

I feel your pain..Keep at it, it will work out.
