Well new turbo fitted....but.....
Well the car has had a turbo put onto it and now its terrible, no power to speak of , cars alot quieter than it ever was, dump valve doesnt work no more lol could this be a pipe issue somewhere or wrong turbo etc

1st thing is to check all the pipes to make sure one hasn't blown off or split. Do you have a boost gauge,what is it boosting at?
Really hope you get this sorted,seems like you've not been abel to enjoy your car fully since you owned it

as i mentioned before mate you need to take your car to a specialist who knows these cars inside out.
forget the backstreet garage that will do it cheap-get it to somebody whos knows whats what.
you have no idea if the car has been re-mapped so i suggest a dyno session to get an in-depth look at what the car is actually doing

seriously, get the car back and put it into a specialist ASAP, do not drive it around as is, you will end up blowing the engine up for christ sake. Cut your losses right now and book it in somewhere ASAP, waiting a few days with a specialist will be much better then waiting weeks for a rebuild if it blows up, I appreciate your current position and requirement for a vehicle daily but you may have to find other means temporarily.
