So garage called today, they have found the fault.
Two pipes to the turbo were the wrong way around and one pipe to the actuator/wastegate was missing a clip and so wasn't on tight.
They have tested the car and it's fine.
£105 - which is a bargain in my books for a few hours labour.
Tested the car tonight and it is pulling like a train. Really impressed with it and how it drives. Can hear the turbo spooling up, which was missing before.
No idea how quick it should be but it even has a decent amount of grunt in 5th. It will be interesting to see what happens when it gets tinkered with a remap.
More good news was that the turbo is also not the original, mechanic is positive that it;s fairly recent from the conditon it is in, bonus.
Time to sort out the buetooth, audio and remap.......once Ive taken it to London and back this week
