Sounds like you need real expertise.
Call Roger Clark Motorsport, based close to Hinckley, Leicestershire. Expensive but mega competant.
If you are in London try Power Engineering.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have problems but afraid I have no idea. Your thread was very difficult to read to me.

Sounds basically that you want a local 'expert' to come and have a listen? Right?. Tell the world where you are from and hopefully someone can help.

No speako daigo...
Writing in English may indeed help

Sounds like it could be lots of things, varying between the turbo being knackered & other various bits & bobs in the area, or a hole in a piston. But I'm having problems translating...

Good luck in getting your car sorted - I hope its nothing too serious.

You might like to think about using proper sentences though, it makes it a lot easier for people to read and therefore help you out...

Too much txting perhaps?

I had a similar problem to this i think, It had the same symptons your describing. It turned out to be a piston so i had it rebuilt by API impreza who did an excellent job, Good luck on getting this fixed
