Guy, before some one on here posts something stupid, this is a aircooled forum. Unless your car has a type 1 or 4 aircooled VW engine then you probably wont find much help here.
I would suggest finding someone with an OBD II reader and seeing what error codes your car is throwing, look for them on line and you will most likely find out what is wrong....

I actually did type up a snarky reply, but decided to be nice
Boost leak,Clogged catlytic converter be my guesses. But yeah best get it to a code reader and see from there.
http://www.vwclubsa.co.za could all probably help.
Good luck. On and remember to always let the terrrbo to warm up before driving hard, and cooling down before switching off. Those turbos seem to die 70K km deaths...
