I have a 2003 Jetta Wagon with 221K miles on it. Two days ago I noticed that I was not getting the normal "boost" of power after the RPM's top 2000 as normal. I can slowly get up to speed but it takes longer than normal. Once up to speed, I don't have issues maintaining speed (even into high winds) but it's a slow process accelerating. Today, my check engine came on and the code reads as P0299.
Does anyone have good pictures of the whole Turbo and related valve setup that could guide me through checking all of the things that could be wrong before I go and dump $2K on a new Tubro. Checking the forum, it looks like it could be a number of things (like holes in the hoses or vacuum lines) but I can't find any good how to's with photos to guide me through.
Any help is most appreciated.
