    Hi.
    This sounds like the common problem experienced by VW/Audi on the variable vane turbos. The problem usually goes away when the engine is turned off and then started again.
    Try operating the actuator rod on the turbo, either by hand or with a mityvac if you have one. If the rod is stuck or is difficult to move you can try cleaning the turbo with an Innotec (www.innotec-world.com) product called Turbo Clean. It's not guaranteed to work but it's worth a try.
    You will probably find some info in the archives about this problem on other vehicles.
    HTH - Paul.
