Default Down on power

I have a 1998 Scooby wagon turbo, pretty much standard apart from the decat, exhaust and k&n filter.

Yesterday while driving i noticed that she is not pulling like it usually does. Seems to be holding back a bit. Oil water is ok, no nasty noises or anything. Just wondered if anyone could give me any pointers in where to start looking?

Thanks John

Could be a number of things, and agree with wimpy maybe a rolling road session could iron out any issues as it does have a few mods.

Failing that you could end up just replacing of parts unnecessarily, unless it's an obvious problem.

Turned out to be a split pipe and was dragging air in. Would of been well worth putting on the rolling road to find that problem
