vl turbo running ruff

[vlturbs]

G'day all just puttin this out there in the hope that all your wisdom and mechanical knowledge may help me help my vl turbs which has some serious issues atm. Just a stock package runnin 10psi courtesy of a boost regulator. Starts and idles fine but once accelerating begins to miss and splutter and will not accelerate normally but very very roughly. It feels as thou im driving with only 2 leads connected. It will idle fine though, ive changed plugs n leads n prob still persists. My next thought is the air flow meter. Or possibly the crank angle sensor but ive got no idea. Has anyone out there experienced similar probs or know of any remedies to this ?? Your help will be greatly appreciated, cheers........................

could also be your distributor cap or rotor.

Sounds like a cas too me. They either stop working suddenly, or break down after putting load on the engine.
