Hi No this is not normal,i think you have an overboost problem,and you will need a fault code read to verify this.

when i hit around 90mph

I assume you took a detour to a track or were driving on the autobahn when testing this! :p

Anyhow, welcome!

Just need to get it to your local vag com dealer and they will tell you what the faut it.. there is a number of smaller sensors that it could be any one of..

should not be a lot to sort..
