Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
my car runs and starts perfectly,i have just had the manifold/turbo gaskets replaced as they were blowing and also the mass airflow meter was replaced.the car just seems to lack power,it supposed to be the 150 bhp version,but feels really slow.i do hear the turbo whistling so that seems to be working.

Turbo shouldn't whistle, sounds like an air leak under load/boost. Check pipes/gaskets for security........will be on the high pressure side
