Got a buddy who has a 06 jetta TDI. It's stock other then straight pipe. He's convinced that something is either wrong with the cam or turbo. First he complains that it sounds just like a Subaru wrx....which it does. Second is the car is a slug until 1500 rpms . the power seems to be from 1500-2000. A local German automotive repair shop said his vanes in the turbo were all sooted up and needed to be cleaned. After the cleaning it ran great for about 100 miles..then back to the same. Seems like the vanes are stuck open. Any suggestions? Cleaning didn't seem to help.
