something's up with my car(2000 2.5 TDI remaped ECU). when I put my foot down the turbo boosts up at about 2000 rpm to just over 20 psi as usual but then it cuts down to 10 psi intermittently causing the car to have a loss of power then a surge off and on making me feel sea sick. what could it be ?

maybe limp mode cutting when i blew a intercooler pipe of the car i refitted it and the car went in a like semi limp mode and i was only able to hit half of the psi i normally hav it took a while for it to sort itself out you might have a leak somewhere as the psi is buildin up it then realises that there is a problem

No leak on turbo pipes or intercooler. Still hesitating intermittently. What else could it be? Boost senser? Diesel injectors? HELP!!!!!

Wastegate on turbo sticking or faulty MAF sensor? Can you get the error codes read?
