There is a lot of information on this web site you could spend hours reading. Most common causes dirty fuel filter, air intake restriction, faulty mass airflow sensor, turbo boost leak at hose connections etc.

Sammie;

I had the same problem. I replaced the vacuum lines from the N75 and that fixed it all up
