Limp mode and flashing light.

[dub17]

hi i just got my first cupra, driving it home and after 140miles i stopped to take a piss, turning the engine off. got back in, fired her up and pulled out of the layby giving it it a bit of right foot going up a hill trying to get up a nice bit of speed, then in second on boost, it just lost power and an orange light started flashing at me, sometimes staying on for a little bit and not boosting over 5psi.
I unplugged the MAF suggested by a mate but that made no difference.
It sounds rather beefy/like a tractor now but doesnt really feel right to drive, almost juddering having to give it a bit more revs to pull away and is using a bit more fuel.

I dont really know much about these as i've never owned a turbo car or anything, so any help, i would be so greatful for, as i havent had it long at all and its already dieing on me

Sounds like a coil pack to me mate, but I may be wrong, get her plugged in and see what faults come up

Boost leak check ur intercooler pipes or map sensor
To see if it's popped out sounds like a leak
