strange that as he fitted it correctly its just if there was power before he changed it and then dropped summat got to be checked in and around that area imo just a thought mate

I have had my hand down there near the turbo and can't feel anything, but it is hard to tell.

No ones mentioned actuator yet  :wink:

do you run a standard or aftermarket?

If its standard, it could well possibly be this as the spring weakens over time, allowing the waste gate to open prematurely etc
