Default Barely accelerates

I have a '01 A4 Quattro, and it's not accelerating. I have a pedal all the way down and it just barely climbs the RPMs match that. Any ideas?

Welcome.

Are you very saavy with regards to working on cars?
First thing I would do, assuming your engine is 1.8T, is to hook up a boost gauge and see how much boost pressure the turbocharger is able to build. For a 2001 model it should be 8-10psi.
