i have a similar problem at the moment...loss of power as if the turbo has cut off then it just picks up again....but also getting alot of smoke out of the rear when i accelerate.....

some advice is leading towards turbo but when you fully hit exhuast in nuetral when standing the smoke goes which i was told means not the turbo....

dont trust any garages in london so kinda waiting for the problem to show itself unless i get some sturdy advice
