The engine has gone into limp mode for a reason and is limiting your rpm to protect itself. Check you fault codes and go from there. Common reasons are failed MAF/AMM, blocked exhaust, disconnected vaccum line to the turbo or a boost leak.

With those symptoms it ought to have the CEL lit up if it has a bad MAF or a boost issue.

To clarify your two posts, initially it drove fine for 2 mins and once warm would not rev past 3k rpm; and now, after 2 mins it stalls?

Is that correct?

Get your car checked for fault codes. Engine, transmission and ESP/ABS. You can't really go far without doing that first.
