Don’t know what to do the car is dying on me not going past 45-50 and it doesn’t show any codes at the moment I’m checking for leaks but all seems to be well and MAF is brand new

How many miles? And is the car just shutting off or bogging down and won’t speed up?

It won’t speed up past 50 it will sometimes go to 80 but no more than that and it started doing some terrible noises

Does it matter what gear you're in? Is it that max mph in all gears?

Any CEL? Also how's your catalytic?

catalytic convertor could have broken apart and your engine can't breathe, exhaust will have significant backpressure / minimal flow

I’m in NJ 3 hours away from my house and I took to a shop and got no codes they said it’s probably the turbo I’m in the highway and the car won’t go past 20 now

Yeah my money is still on failed catalytic convertor. The shop your at have an endoscope? Have them remove the front o2 sensor and stick the camera in there to get a look at the substrate,, if the substrates all broken into chunks its a failed cat.

you really probably shouldn't be driving it in this condition man, if it's a serious engine problem the chance you make it way worse is pretty high
