Same problem with mine.

Unplug the airflow metre and see if that make a difference. Check your spark plugs as the wrong ones will make it run crap! After that from what I know its the throttle body which can only really be checked by Vovlo.

Check engine light on and or flashing? If so need codes to start diagnosing. Often these issues are vacuum pipe related on the turbo models, but there are many potiential causes. Get codes pulled, post back with the numbers.
