What "new" engine have you fitted?
Is this engine exactly the same one you took out (inc turbo etc) so a phase 1 engine, or did you fit a phase 1.5 engine or a phase 2 engine or something different? (New age or fully rebuilt?)

Hi again i have been told that some times if the car has been on a flat bed truck at some point and was left in gear when the car rocks back and forward it can cause the timing belt to jump. engine might off come out of a crashed car
that was on flat bed truck?

brashy

so im better checking the timing, i forgot to mention i had the flywheel lightened would this cause the problem maybe its not balanced right
