Well, you might just unplug the MAF and see if the engine performance
gets worse. If the engine behaviour doesnt get worse, then it's IMO a
sign that the MAF is already not working and you might need another
one.
At least on my TDI you could diagnose it like that without damage to
the engine. I can't imagine that to be different at the 1.8T

Re: Audi A4 1.8 - Turbo Lag?
Had to call out the AA yesterday, was on my way home from visiting
family and it started doing the same thing to the point of hardly any
acceleration and the engine management system warning came on. They
replaced one of the coils, and hey presto it's been nice and smooth
all they way back and this morning.
Hopefully that's it.
