my turbo has stoped working please help

[Starry]

 i have a 1.8 turbo 1999 and it drives like a normal car with no turbo all of a sudden for some reason. I have had a look for pipes off or split pipes but can't see any. The car drives with no other probs, its smoothand pulls like a none turbo car . Im getting stressed now because im being left at the lights by everything.

should still have a warranty take it back to vw and they should replace it

Can't have a lot left on the warranty if you got one at all still. Does the turbo spin at all? you should be able to hear it when you rev the engine.

[Starry]

the warranty is out. it does not spin up when you put your foot down but you can hear it release the pressure when you change gear.

[golfvr6]

Surely if there is a pressure build up , the turbo must be spinning?

[Starry]

yes vr6 i would agree but theres no punch from the turbo at all and i cant hear it spin up like it used to the car has been remaped by revo and used to fly.. its very strange

[golfvr6]

Sounds like a leak somewhere..
