knackered egr valve, blocked air filter, leak on turbo hose, gunked up/holed intercooler.
EGR is blanked, and filter is clean (K&N). Must admit, the turbo whistle does sounds louder than before (but put that down to the k&N)

what about the little pipes that go to the wastgate and the wastgate solenoid
had a look around the wastegate, gave the arm/lever some oil and some of the power has returned and the black smoke has gone!
I feel it's still down on power tho, as going up the slighest incline requires a lot more rev's.
To test if the wastegate modulator is working properly, is it just a case of rigging the wastegate up like on a defender? (i.e. pipe from intercooler hose straight to wastegate?)
