Have you checked the turbo pipe to make sure it has not been damaged by the people who have been serving your car ?

Or .. if its plugged on ok

To find your turbo pipe,

it runs from the "air filter box" to the turbo :)

When has it started to do this.. ?

cmia to be honest i have not checked the turbo pipe, but on two different occasions it has blown off on the car and i know that it looses power when this happens,this seems to be more of a missing feeling the last time i felt something like this i was driving a petrol car.

Well... if its not on right.. .. the warm air fromengine bay gets sucked in to the turbo... .. when you plant your foot down on the pedal.. the pipe maybe getting sucked in after the turbo spools up.
