So for a while now I have noticed I can hear my turbo alot more and seems to have drop slightly in power now I assume it's a air leak somewhere, but also on 2 runs once it hit around 180kph full throttle it's like either a hose has pulled of or I've gone into limp mode %0 boost now both times once I let it idle or shut down for a while I'm back to normal with boost so any help advice things to check beside pipes I would love to head

VCDS or OBDII Pro seem to be the favoured diagnostic tools for DIY VW owners (or ODIS or dealer VW software for non-DIY). Depending on the codes you may want to reset and see if they happen again.

I end up buying ANCEL VD500 Obd2 for the moment as a Google search said they were good for the price not as fancy as the other but if it gives me codes that's good enough
