Check your side mount intercooler. see if it is cooling your turbo charger correctly. Check the tubes leading from your intercooler to the turbo. Is your car faster than usual, or faster that other vdubs? This means your turbo charger is boosting past it's limit. Check your vacum and your vacume hose (right under your engine cover). good luck.
