Right, a nice reconditioned turbo has been fitted, the Dpf has been cleaned, so has the turbo oil supply/return pipes, the egr has also been cleaned. It has no engine warning light on and it passed it's MOT yesterday morning with no advisories, so why is there so little power????
Driving around town is a bit slow, but it's manageable. Boot it and it goes into limp mode with engine management light and flashing glowplug light illuminating. Turn engine off, restart and lights are gone and it's out of limp mode.
The first test drive after fitting the turbo wasn't too far, as the pipe from the intercooler (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_nkw=intercooler) to the egr popped off at the egr. I put it back on, then the inlet pipe to the intercooler (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_nkw=intercooler) popped off. That was put on, then the outlet pipe from the intercooler popped off. So I fitted all pipe joints with jubilee clips. I've now noticed an oil leak from the turbo outlet to intercooler pipe. ( the only pipe without a jubilee clip). My thought at the moment is that the full whack of air from the turbo isn't getting into the engine. Instead it's building up in the pipe work to the egr/manifold, then breaking the weakest joint as the pressure of the air increases.
Any ideas as to why the lack of power and might I be right about the air from the turbo not getting to the engine??
