hi guys, i am from Hong Kong and i just got my 2000 model 225 quattro...

i found that if i keep my rev high for about 10-15mins, my car will lose power.... and if you keep pushing the car ...it likes running on no boost at all..i haven't got a boost gauge yet so i am not sure whether there's any problem with the boost level, but i could see the turbo is blowing smoke itself when stop the car and pop the hoods...however it doesn't smell like burning oils....more like burning water?

After a few hours time when the engine is completly cool down, the power is all back together.....

What could be the problem?
