Since its a newer vehicle it would the system is reading the condition and only gets a generic reason of why its getting a code via the ecm so it puts the car into limp mode to allow you enough to get the car safely to the shop without damaging I would try to clean the wastegate if not replace it with a used one I am sure its just build up causing this but they are hard to get at. Let me know if this helps and please remember to rate since its a free answer

    Yes thats what I was saying there are sensors that are able to read when things are inaccurate in the system. The wastgate getting stuck would cause this to happen.

VW 2004 T5 MULTIVAN, DIESEL, 2.5, 170PS -- Can't find cause of Limp Mode

You put it in park and turn off and it resets. You turn it on and it runs awhile and zeros out. Try looking at the parking sensors and the on board computer.

How to fix volvo850 turbo in limp home mode

You need to have the codes read for a good response. But you have a couple problems going on. No spark could be a fuse, crank sensor, wiring , or the computer. Limp mode is another problem. It could be a engine or transmission problem. Limp mode doesn't kill the engine, it puts the transmission in a certain gear so you won't be able to cause more damage.

The ABS system may cause a vehicle to go into limp mode if it is defective. Most times that will happen if your ABS light is lit up on your dash board!

Faulty Turbo

Now if i knew what you meant by blew ?? then i might have a idea --most turbo faults are caused by dirty oil and changing the engine oil every 5000miles with a filter every third oil change will stop this problem .The other problem is the turbine vanes breaking off or being damaged by grit where the air filter is missing or a pipe loose or split allowing the thing to suck in unfiltered air but i do know someone with one of these and he sold it in the end and bought a transit as the turbo gave up quite often ,but without taking the turbo apart then i couldnt tell you why they are failing but i do know he kept a small hand held diagnostic machine in the cab and when it went into limp mode he cleared the codes and off he went again .Seem to remember as well the waste gate operating piston playing up i think a rubber tube perished so it didnt open and the increase in pressure as the engine revved up caused the thing to go into limp mode as too much pressure was being generated ,the rubber tube goes from the pressure side of the turbo to the piston its about 4cms long so as the air pressure builds up it this pressure pushes the piston which opens the waste gate which is a little flap on the exhaust side of the turbo into the exhaust manifold so when it opens it allows the exhaust gas pressure to go straight down the exhaust pipe releaving pressure on the turbo vanes .If the pressure in the inlet side goes too high then a sensor will put the engine into limp mode .Hope you understand this technical jargon ?

Audi A6 3.0 tdi Quattro 2005, glow plug light comes on, limp mode

16619 -Engine boost condition - Limit not reached. Check intake hoses/ connections for leaks. Check Turbo charger waste gate regulating valve/ waste gate working correctly. Must move freely when accelerating, won't achieve full boost if waste gate sticking open. Check Turbo impeller turning freely, oil feed pipe for turbo can get blocked causing impeller to seize. Engine compact, not easy to access these components.

The turbo on my golf 1.9 tdi does not kick in on 4th gear

One of the thin vacuum pipes must be torn and the minute you go into higher/full boost the ECU doesn't get the requested pressure from the turbo and to protect the tubo from overboosting it puts the car into limp mode, The limp mode only resets when you switch the car off and back on again.

Trace all the thin 6mm vacuum pipes and you will find your leak.

LIMP MODE

You will have to have the fault codes read and removed. If it is permanently in limp mode it may suggest another problem.
