I'm suggesting it may be his MAF sensor playing up. If it works fine right after switching the engine off and switching it back on, I'll bet a pound that it IS the MAF :lol: | |

Is it a mk4 golf? The boost pipe comes off if the clip is not on properly, it may look on properly but if you turn it 180degrees it works better (thats if it wasn't on properly) | |

air mass sensor maybe. Mine lost all power and couldn't rev past 3k, no turbo nothing. It could be a vacuum pipe has come off as well. Which is what happened to mine. Fitted a new one and wash wish woosh power was back :) | |

Someone I work with had the turbo go on his MK5 Golf and the exhaust system was full of oil. So that may something to look at | |
