Default Maybe I spoke too soon. Car having issues

Well looks like the RS is having issues. Filled up gas yesterday didnt really have any issues to late last night. Here is what I am experiencing:

While accelerating at half throttle the car seems to hesitate, like its having fuel cut. Looks like someone is shaking a baby, except my car is shaking. The only way to avoid this issue is to drive at WOT. Except at WOT it feels like I have a 42r turbo or something. It has less power than it already does up until 5.5k then it goes. Any possible ideas?

Only thing I can think of is bad fuel? Just had spark plugs, fuel filter etc done 3.5k miles ago.

Thanks

Head gasket?
CEL?
Loosing fluids?
Or maybe open your hood and realize that your intake is not hooked up. Sounds like a vacuum leak, is it idling normal?

Or might be the fact that you should stop beating the hell out of that poor car.

Does it do it consistantly or just when cold or hot? Have you checked the EGR, and vaccum lines?
