Where the rod links to the wastegate flap on the turbo it may have been disconnected. Mine did this on my C900 after I had it apart to adjust the wastegate. If it has come offpop it back on take it for a run and see what happens. if that fixes it, go to any motorfactors/proper autoparts store, and get an assorted pack of E clips and R pins, the counter person should know what they are. When it happened to mine the symptom is exactley as you describe, and it is because the actuator isn't holding the wastegate shut, so as soon as the pressure inside the turbo is higher than outside the turbo, it blows it open and all your boost goes away. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
