Default intake and tb problems

Well i just installed a BBK SSI intake and a professonal products 85mm throttle body. And the problem is when press on the gas pedal half way it works perfect but at full throttle it down shifts and goes for about 5 seconds and then it just punks out on me, droping the rpms at 3k and slow down like if i were at idle. and thats not the only part after testing and tweeking with it I take off just fine 1st and 2nd gear are great but once i'm on 3rd it stops acclerating and I put more gas in and the only thing that moves is the rpms and redlines without moving the car like if it were in nutral. can any body help me also i have a A4 and dont have a tune.

any engine codes????
i have the same combo 85 bbk/ and 85 professional products..
my problem was that at wot my first gear would only go to about 4500rpm the it will shift into second it would never go thought the whole power band.
the only way i could actually go though the powerband was to hold it into gear. so pretty much manually shift though the gears.
Took my car to Cunningham (cms) Ryne said it felt like the tranny was giving out then found out that it was giving out a tps code... he deleted the code and everything was good after that.
also my car is a a4, shorty headers and gutted cats at the time.

also Try shifting it manually thought 123 might also be a that your 3rd gave out.. make sure u have trans fluid
