Need help with a fault!!!!!

hey people

I need help as my LCR isn't proforming as it should it will only rev to 5500rpm, and its like the turbo isn't winding up, there is no smoke or nothing like that nor any warning signs, just ran fine one day next day like this. i have checked the end float on the turbo all the vaccum pipes just don't know where to look next??
I am thinking that the waste gate isn't sitting correctly or is broken i am thinking about taking it off but wouldn't see anything (i don't think) and it an expensive item just to change,
Just need some guildance where to look next? has anyone had a turbo go? if so what was the sign? Has anyone had there car in limp mode and what did it do in it(how do u get it out of it)? there are know warning signs on the dash ever bnut i know the coolant sensor need changing but that has been like that for ages.

come on people i am missing the LCR power and enjoyment.

do you have or know someone that has VAG COM, you don't always get a warning light if it goes into limp mode. Get someone to scan for fault codes if you can.
