hi, ive had a few issues with my car over the last couple of months,its a 2003 B4 RSK and thought they all had been fixed, here are the ones that were found and fixed,
1) primary turbo solenoid buggered and replaced.
2)aftermarket BOV leaking, replaced with factory one.
3)restrictor pills missing or in the wrong place.
4)vacuum lines around the wrong way.
now something else is happening, but only sometimes, when im giving it s**t, at around 6000rpm, there is a big kick, the check engine light comes on and the turbo's drop off line, i have to turn it off and restart it, after that the turbo's are going fine again, any thoughts??

It is going into limp mode. Scan the ECU for codes. The car is detecting something is wrong. It could be overboosting or underboosting.

Came back with what? Don't think you mentioned what the error code was?

Yep when he goes up in those revs the ecu shutting it down to protect the engine.
The error code most likely would be save on the ecu. Find what the error code is, is essential to finding your problem.
