Probably went into limp mode from the amount of throttle being applied. I assume you had it foot to the floor for over 1 minute to creep up to 230km/h? I know to reach 140mph in mine takes some patience with the foot to the floor.

I think its overboost or something else which triggers the limp mode. Kills the turbo to preserve the engine.

Worth getting old of a VAG-COM and reading off the fault codes if you can. IIRC, Jon had a similar situation in his Octy due to "Maximum engine revs exceeded - warranty void". I believe it may also go into limp mode if the revs are in the red zone for a minute or more....
