Doubt its your turbo.

Do a search for "loss of power", "MAF", "clogged intake", and "snow screen".

Chances are your Mass Air Flow sensor is on its way out, your air intake manifold may be partialy clogged with carbon build up, and/or your snow screen needs to be cleaned.

How many miles are on the car?

This could also be due to a clogged fuel filter. When was it last changed?
