Check your the information that came with your owner's manual. We just got a new car and it listed the states that have lemon laws. Obviously I am not in my car now, but I can check later if still need help on this question. One driving tip, used by rally drivers around the world. Turbos maintain power only if the rpms are up, so they take turns and downshift by stepping on the brake and gas at the same time. They rock their right foot either way to adjusted the pressure on the gas pedal. You could modify this technique by having the car in neutral, but with your right foot on the brake (to hold the car in position) and rock your foot to blip the throttle to keep the engine alive. Practice this someplace safe before trying it on the road. Even when you get the engine problem solved, this can be a useful techique to reduce the damage to the transmission when you downshift.
