gutless disco
python:
some great tips there guys. i can hear the turbo working, seems like it is too so im not sure what to think, dont think its the clutch. revs die, not overrevving with no bite.although the biting point is quite high but still strong. as said i can hear the turbo spinning a lot. more so after i took out the air filter, think all the hoses are ok, had them off recently. not sure how to check the fuel pump. never played with one before. might just give it a tweek to see if that helps. will clean the sedimentor tom if i can. ill look over the t peice and c clip too. cheers guys.

If the turbo is spinning then I would be looking at the intercooler hoses for splits and delamination on the inside as crazymac said.
The delamination can block/part block the hose and stop the air getting to the engine.
I wouldn't go tweeking anything until you've found out why it's low on power in the first place. ;)
Has this only just started happening or has it been like this for a while, say since you put larger tyres on?
python:
its been like this since i got the disco. three months ago, bought it with a blown manifold gasket. sorted that but still the same. its good on fuel tho. maybe 150 miles to £20. or so. need it fixed as its annoying. not changed wheels or anything but do have a front prop issue,. see other post.
Budgie:
What size tyres are on there?
Just thinking that if they are something like 235x85's then it could be the gearing that's causing the problem rather then anything mechanical. ;)
python:
205's on the front ans 235's rear, come like that, all road bias.
