also parkers book figure is 8.2 for 0-60 so id definitely say something isnt right , although they are definitely worth mapping, im running 209bhp on stock engine just with silicone pipes and a forge dv, feels like a different car.

Ignore Barry, 13 seconds is way too slow for even a standard 1.8t.

Check for boost leakes as a first step.

What's the pcv system pipe work looking like? the network of pipes behind the oil dipstick? mine had holes galore when I first got it and its very common for them to perish which then loses boost, id check there.

I think my PCV if I am correct in saying this is an oil breather thing? If it is then mine is leaking badly.......The smell of oil that comes in to the cabin is terrible if I have the heaters going.
