There must be a loose hose or broken vacuum line somewhere. The EGR hoses could also have been broken. Look for soot around the back of the engine and take a look in the FAQ for the limp mode troubleshooting article to get started. Getting error codes so you can see what the car is trying to tell you is a start.

Also, post moved to mk5 section.

error comes up with turbo over boost! I.e (egr valve) (throttle pedal) (faulty turbo....new four months ago) (boost pressure regulater)

Stuck stuck stuck..........?????????

Turbo overboost means the car's sensors see too much turbo boost and send the car into limp mode to prevent any damage.

It could be vacuum lines, turbo actuator, turbo vanes, faulty sensors or wiring, many possible causes. Find out exactly what the code is and datalog the turbo boost for some more suggestions.

Since you changed the boost pressure regulator it's probably not that. It's probably not the throttle pedal because there are check sensors there and if it were bad you'd be getting error codes and 1200 rpm max.

What's stuck, the turbo? The throttle? It shouldn't be the new EGR or N75. What was the EGR leaking?

Diaphram was leaking on the egr valve (oil).
I have not changed the boost pressure regulator yet...
