RE: Gas
it could be a number fo things, you could need a tune up, a sensor could have failed, clogged fuel filter. tell us of anything else that seems out of wack for example a temp gauge that keeps on cold or variates could mean the ECT went out making the car use more fuel. also when did you last change the air filter. BTW before anyone says run a vag for codes remember hes OBD1.

RE: Gas
that could possibly it since turbos get more power with less gas. if you have a turbo problem it could be very muich it. but first make sure the turbo is the problem also how much MPGs did you get before and how much are you getting now.

RE: Gas
what do you really think could be wrong with the turbo? is it overheating? smoking? making noise? .... i think if it is actually turbo related it could possible be the DV. how many miles on the car and have you ever replaced the DV before?
but to be honest i don't think your prob. has anything to do with the turbo system... i am leaning towards a MAF sensor..... or something along those lines that when it sees a problem it starts to make the car go into a limp mode.....
no codes???
