Try clean the TPS, throttle position sensor, it sits on top of the throttle body, take it out and clean with some brake cleaner, check the wiring, then clear the error codes and see how it acts up

I missed the blowing into a bottle sound you mention, check for loose hoses, split hoses around the turbo area, does sound like you have a leak somewhere

good luck

throttle switch on a my95 is on the accellerator pedal.

If you look up into the driver's footwell, you will see a microswitch in the pedal box, which is operated by the throttle pedal.

This should click on/off whre releasing/pressing the pedal.

Check the switch for correct operation and continuity.
