Way home from work on Friday, as I was passing someone I lost power. GLowplug light started flashing.
Made it home and ran the codes. Got a P0299 boost pressure outside control limits, or something like that.
checked all the hoses, hoping it was an easy fix.
From the whistling noise, I'm pretty sure the turbo is shot.

It has high miles, coming up on 400k. don;t really want to drop a bunch of money in it.
Not sure what to do, it was running like a champ until this happened.

Anyone know of a yard where I can pick up a turbo on the cheap?

Least it gave me a reason to get the old Passat rolling.

None...
Standard Auto Wreckers has a u-pick yard, but it's on the East end, so bit of a drive for you since you're in Mississauga. And no guarantee that there's a donor vehicle in the yard as they don't keep stock of those. Das Parts in Cambridge is a better option for you as they will have it already pulled for you, although may cost slightly more.

I have a turbo from a 2014 a cjaa motor. Not sure if they are interchangeable. Has 42864 miles on it. If you take care of the shipping, I'll sell it to you for $200.00
