Turbo Lag

[lobs84]

Hi everyone I've noticed recently that when I put my foot down in any gear although it is more noticable in 1st, 2nd, 3rd that there is a long pause before the turbo kicks in. Then even if it kicks in as normal it sometimes begins to stall slightly?
I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on the problem and what it might be or how to fix it?,
Thanks in advance

Check for air leaks after the turbo.

As above also look at the DV the can leak boost .

Thanks for the advice, I dont mean so sound like a plank but i dont know anything about cars, so could you please explain in more detail please :D

The turbo forces air into the engine under pressure, this can cause pipes to be blown off.
Check all pipes for leaks and good tight fitting.
The DV valve is known to split the diaphram, lots of owners change for a forge one.
A fault code read would help pinpoint the problem.
