Look at fuel and air filters first.

It I a simple engine, if not in limp mode it only needs air and fuel - restrict those and you limit it.

With a blocked fuel filter it will drive OK - until you need more power, say hill etc and it will crawl up it lol

check the turbo inlet pipe as these have a coil spring insert which did tend to collapse on the mk1 version. collapse of the pipe results in power loss due to restricted air flow
