check your intercooler piping hoses for tightness or the intercooler itself for a busted core which can happen stones etc if it was your turbo blowing you would definatly know i.e nuff smoke.

Sounds more like the DV is fudged (stuck open). Remove it and bung the hole or refit OE item if you have it. If that solves it the defo DV fudged

Sorry mate, not ofay with the bailey and can't quite understand what your doing/saying at the mo.

Would need to see how the previous owner has gone about it really, perhaps post a pic of the Baileys in situ so we can see what your missing
