start car and does not come to full power until about 10 seconds later,
all items that have been changed recently are:

1 all injectors seals/washers etc
2 waste gate mod
3 de egr'd
4 new injector harness
5 new fuel filter, air filter oil etc
turbo all free, no sign of any fuel leak, once the initial start up, it never misses a beat, until you stop it and back to the 10sec wait,
no faults show up on hawkeye,

question is! could it be ?
1 maf sensor?
2 fuel pump?
3 fuel pressure reg?

Why not just wait 10 seconds? It helps to get oil to the turbo etc, as well as (if an auto) around the torque converter.

i have been since october when i got the car, but it does prove a little hard sometimes ! especially when on a hill start, also after everything else i drive through the day that just goes when it should,
anyhow! up date ordered a 1 x Fuel Filter Air Bleed Valve TD5 (Genuine) WJN500110 (WJN500110) = £12.50
gonna try this next, then i think the fuel pump may have to come out, for curiosity and to clean as i don't know the car that well yet, only done 1200 miles in it since early oct
