Hi Folks

I changed my turbo at xmas because i was told by the garage that it was knackered.
But now i'm getting a power cut going uphill at around 2750rpm in 4th + 5th, white smoke out the exhaust and oil is spraying form the dipstick

What could this be?
The garage are telling me know its a headgasket problem but i'm not sure.
Its coolling fine and doesnt overheat at all.

Any help is appreciated

fine
level seems ok and no weird smell off it or anything?
Could it be the gasket or is the crank breather filter a more likely cause?

Can't understand why you haven't already changed the breather with it being relatively cheap & easy.

oil spraying from the dipstick is almost certainly a blocked crank case breather filter. change it NOW before the loss of oil kills another turbo.

once you have done this, then see how the other problems are.

good luck.
