car struggling to move

[eclipsalon]

So this morning I turned on the car and it was idling normal at 1k. Last night I replaced the radiator so this morning I waited for the car to fully warm up just in case the water had frozen overnight. I reversed the car fine out of the driveway but as soon as I put it in 1st it almost died as I gave it gas almost as if the throttle cable wasn't working. I thought the clutch might have been going out but it wasn't over reving when I took off.
While I was on my way to work thinking it would go away, I was in third barely going 30mph at wot, not surpassing 3k rpm and hit full (wastegate) boost. Barely got the car got home and noticed it started overheating and when I popped the hood it seemed as if it was the turbo that the smoke/hissing was coming from. Kinda stumped now at work thinking what maybe be wrong.
Blown turbo?
btw cars a 91 tsi fwd. No mods other than uicp

sounds kinda like your maf isn't reading right. car will idle and rev small amounts without it or if it is bad. Tests left out here though. Like say would it rev up fine in neutral? not to 2000 but like four thousand rpm or more? Could you go any faster than 2mph in reverse?

I think that we are just trying to identify if the noise in the engine that you posted in the video happens all the time, in gear or not, as well as if the noise was there prior to the work that you did on the car.

thinks theres a rod or valve or something giving out.

Well i do know that you said that you are going to be entering a rebuild period at this point so I am not overly concerned. there are still tests you can do to help narrow down the problem and do a more precise rebuild on the effected area but for the time being, unless you have any other issues or concerns just let us know and we will help where we can. If you do find out what the problem ends up being, post back on here to let us know! Always good to have additional info to problems solved.
