POTASH:
when i rev the engine, its fine. but when i move away in first gear it gets to about 1500 revs it holdsback and i have to change to second gear but its not going fast enough in first if you know what i mean then second and third arent much better, ie no power. any ideas please :cry:

skip:
Are any of the intake hoses between the exhaust of the compressor side of the turbo and the intake manifold?

datalas:
Check for signs of black smoke comingout of the back, especially under acceleration.

If there is a lot, then there is probably something restricting airflow,  which could be the air filter, intercooler, turbo ..

POTASH:
no black smoke just seems low power :(

Fingers:
Checked any fuel filters?
Can you hear the fuel pump priming/running?

If the engine is fine out of gear, perhaps there is something in the drivetrain causing massive drag.   Does it roll ok, no brakes locked on etc?
