I had the standard transmission replaced in my 99.5 jetta MK4. When I left the shop I had a very hard pedal in my brake then when going up a hill in 5th gear I noticed the loss of power as if the turbo was not working. I'm thinking a vacuum line Is not on. Where should I look. Thanks.

If it's a hard brake pedal AND turbo issues...check the hose from the vac pump to the brake booster first. They may have disconnected that.
Next step, check your vacuum reading with a mightyvac or similar. As you start the car and see what level it goes to (only should take a few sec once started)

definitely a vacuum issue. You just have to find it.
