There is not any way to give a generalized Go game an unbounded amount of space, so Go cannot represent a Turing machine tape.
However, Generalized Go, with Japanese ko rules, is EXPTIME-complete. That means that if a yes/no ("decision") problem can be solved by a Turing machine, using an amount of time that grows exponentially with the problem size, then that problem can also be represented by an equivalent Go position on a suitably large board.
So, Go is powerful enough to represent any problem in NP, like the Travelling Salesman Problem. It can embed much harder problems like deciding whether a quantified boolean formula is true, or any other problem in PSPACE. It can even simulate a Turing machine for a fixed number of steps. It’s not powerful enough to solve doubly-exponential problems like the decision procedure for Presburger arithmetic.
