"Im wondering...is this he same rubber "ring" that once pulled off and the car started..the metal tube makes a spitting noise? If so is that the reason why my car has poor acceleration? "

Uh, yes if you disconnected the stabilizer things would not be right. I have not tried disconnecting parts of my vehicle and starting the car, mostly because that makes no sense. But it would likely make a "spitting sound" from the air leak in the intake system.

If you have a power issue, the best thing is to do a systematic diagnostic starting with pulling codes with the vag-1551 or equivalent, then progressing to other things like checking fuel supply/pressure, ignition components, and also compression.
disconnecting components that may or may not be functioning is not the best way to find the source of an engine performance issue.

If you do not have the bently manual, you should buy it and follow the diagnostic procedures located therein.

Buenas suerte, kanda.
