mk4 gli that lurches in every gear. Can give smooth throttle in every gear at about 2-2.5k rpm and my car just lurches and also does this when i let off the gas at low rpm.

Is this normal?

haha, use your best judgement...does it seem normal? ;-)

Did you scan it for codes? Dont ask us till you have Scanned.

Sounds like you need a throttle body alignment or your TB is going bad. Or your Maf is bad.

nah no codes and get good gas mileage.

I had a similar issue just after I bought my gti. It would die every now and again and surge/lurch at about 2k rpms. If you have a boost gauge installed you can tell if its turbo lag, as it turns out mine was the crankshaft position sensor. If you read up on it, its a pretty common part that fails over time. It also isn't too spendy and you should be able to find it at either ecs or your favorite auto parts store. Good luck!
