What could the problem be?

did you pull the codes? Wouldn't I need a programmer to do that?

no you don't just read this, MK3 TSRM On-Line

this is your new bible, so to speak.

is there any smoke? if there is, what color? Yeah theres smoke, its your typical grey smoke as far as I can tell.

there's black, blue, and white/grey smoke, black is fuel, blue is oil, and white is moisture. your grey smoke could mean a blown head gasket BHG or if your turbo oil seal is shot it would be throwing oil into your intercooler which would result in moisture in your intake. this was my problem.

when you step on the gas does your oil pressure increase? Yes

this could be a sign of worn piston rings, which a engine with your mileage wouldn't surprise me. i would do a compression check on your cylinders, read here for that MK3 TSRM On-Line

is there oil in your intercooler? How do I check that?

the ic piping at the bottom of you intercooler. remove that and see if any oil drips out
