Do a search mate,

It could be boost leaks, bad PCV system, faulty maf or maybe map sensor depending on age of car ie engine code.

Get it scanned for faults etc
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)
