you're hitting the rev limiter.
this step you listed "3:90 gears and tuned" was not done properly. The program changes are incomplete. The classic signs of incomplete programing (after a rear axle change on an A4) is the hitting of the rev limiter and setting the P1870 code.
Take the car back to the "tuner" and have then do it right this time.
