Loss of power is it MAF?
Just got my 99 turbo all sorted out with suspension and new tyres. Running lovely all happy.... Then over took someone in 4th bout 60ish changed to 5th as i past and kept the foot down. The car felt like it was getting throttled(and still does). It just is not pulling well at all. Since then it seems to be running fine no engine check light no stalling, no jerkyness. Brakes seem ok not jamming on.
The car has just lost loads of power and especially under load will not move like it should. I changed the lambda sensor less than a year ago and the maf about 2 yrs ago. I have an air box and k&n car has 83k never changed turbo. Im thinking it's poss maf again. But any ideas or questions let me know, before i go spunking out more wallet blood.
Cheers

Check the cats! and all Back boxes do have some kind of Baffles!
Does the engine get really hot ? And if you get someone to rev the engine and you put your hand over the exhaust does it Burn your hand ? If that hapened then you have a blocked cat!
Have you made sure you have no boost leaks ? and no holes in the intercooler ? What is the boost making ? It might have gone into protect mode at 0.6 Bar boost as it's seen a fault somewhere?
