Yes more than likely. Is the problem temperature related? Like is it boosting fine when cold? They are a common failure and if the ecu is getting a bad signal it will go into limp mode with reduced boost.

dodgy MAF can cut the boost on the AGU

you need to do some logs really, find someone in your area with VAG COM and go for a blast as it might show something

I would get a second hand turbo from scrapyard ,the ko3s and have it mapped. You will get more power than the agu turbo.  :whistle:
