The issue you're experiencing could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a faulty sensor, a problem with the fuel system, or an issue with the turbocharger. The first step would be to read the error codes stored in the engine control unit (ECU) using an OBD2 scanner. This will give you a better idea of where the problem might be. Once you've done that, please share the error codes here so we can help you further. Remember, if you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it's always best to have a professional mechanic look at it, especially as this could potentially be a safety issue.

The error codes you've provided indicate issues with the turbocharger system. P2563 refers to the turbocharger boost control position sensor circuit, P0238 refers to the turbocharger boost sensor A circuit high, and P0234 refers to engine overboost condition. These codes suggest that there might be a problem with the turbocharger or its control system. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the turbocharger system, as this is a complex system and improper handling can lead to further damage. Please keep us updated on your progress.
