  I guess no one has an idea of probably what I am talking about.

It means you either need to clean or replace your turbo

The vanes in the turbo get clogged with carbon deposits to the point where they dont move and when you plant your foot you hit limp mode because the vanes cannot operate properly

Depending on mileage and condition it may be more cost effective to replace

yeah that's exactly what a vw specialist said thanks rhyso I think im going for the upgrade to an hybrid turbo

Don forget the following then
Turbo back exhaust
Front mounted intercooler and new pipework
New clutch

And if you want to take it past 215-220bhp wihtout smoke and maxing out the injectors then you'll need new injectors too.....
