After Sam had a look,but before Twiglet bought it ,I went and had a look at it.The guy drove me around the block in it,and I had the impression the turbo was chiming in at some point,but the road he drove on was way too short to get a realistic impression of exactly how well it was running.
He was under the impression that it had a problem with a vacuum pipe,but I don't think he knew much about engines tbh.
I don't think Twiglet ever got round to investigating it in any serious way. Too many projects on the go,as usual.

Nothing new there

Duff or wrong turbo maybe, but could it be a compression issue creating the illusion of the turbo not kicking in

A cheapo recon/second hand rather than new maybe

A mate of mine bought a new turbo for his A4 tdi,when it wouldn't go he replaced just about everything as he was sure it couldn't be the “new” turbo,you can guess the rest

My brother had an issue with his turbo not boosting on his td Renault traffic and it turned out to be a leaky inlet manifold gasket. Maybe no any use to you.

The trouble with it was present long before Twiglet bought it... had been suggested that someone had been meddling when they went to view the car

Cheers, I'd seen Sam's thread when i was using the search initially to see what might be up with the car

I'll get in touch with Essex Turbos in the morning and see if they can shed any light on when this turbo was fitted as it still has all their labels on! 

If the car hasn't moved or done many miles since it was fitted i might be able to get them to have a look if i can get the car to them....  Gotta be worth a phone call?

Dropped the hearse off at my mates garage thus morning, but on the drive there the car came on boost about 5x and pulled really well but other than that was the normal sluggish self. My brain is wondering if a gummed up EGR would cause this issue?

I literally replaced all and sundry to do with the boost issues now! I've even been on the phone to Essex Turbos who are going to dig through their paperwork and let me know why the car went into them for a new unit.

2 weeks later the car is still there....

The plot thickens!

Welcome to DTI ownership, vac problems can be an absolute pain to trace without a proper gauge I've found.

Remind me what gauge I'd need again? It's so frustrating as it can only be something so simple! And to add to the annoyingness it still boosts intermittently!
