Ive posted a few times im having issues with my car. its a 91 tsi auto trans. when accelerating the engine the car misses and stumbles even will reving it sitting still. if i hit the throttle harder and spool the turbo up it misses worse. ive checked for a boost leak and even pressurizing the system with a compressor i cant find a leak. i put new plugs in the car and it had new wires when i purchased it. im short on money so i have to try to find what is causing it before i purchase anything to fix it. an additional note the turbo has alot of shaft play. any ideas guys i really need help?

If plugs and wires are new the next thing I would look for is a bad or clogged injector. I would run some injector cleaner through it first and see what happens.

Could also be the fuel filter.

i thought about that but the car is running rich and bucking the plugs are black with carbon when i pull them which supports the boost leak but i cant find one is it possible if the seal in the turbo is shot that its leaking into the center cartridge i have noticed my oil pressure has been high. im going to replace the turbo since i know thats shot the shaft moves like a 1/4" or more side to side but i want to find any other problems too so the cars not down too much longer
