Does the managment light come on?
Can you hear the turbo spooling up?
Have you check the boost pipes for crack/splits
If you have been overboosting, the intercoolers are weak and it may well have split like mine did.
Sri Turbo Manual....

There is no manual.
Answering my questions above would go along way to pinpointing what is wrong with your car.

I have checked all the Pipes... Couple of Loose Vacuum pipes that needed nipping....
Srayed Leak detector spray to find any other leaks and found non..
The Turbo does not seem to be spinning up no woosjing of air being swirled and compressed...
Really strange.....
No evident Intercooler Fractures or blow holes, so maybe a water test on it may not go a miss...
Coming to the conclusion the Turbo is fookt

Take the air feed hose of the turbo ( black plastic one ) and try turning the compressor wheel, if that turns its not your turbo.... but check your wastegate, and actuator rod to make sure its connected and the wastegate isnt always open.... otherwise there will be no boost !

Yeah Kool thanx.....
I was trying that yesterday when it started to piss it down Bigtime so I ABANDONED and resorted to coffee n a bifta
Took it out for a RUN after I had tightened all suspect loose hose connectors and Blow me down

Shitloads of Blue/Black Smoke.... Was Random now constant.. So it looks like the Bearing Seals are shagged on the Turbo..... Not even sure what Turbo it is as its a bit black on the Turbo side....
Not alot of access for the Turbo neither.....

Its a Garrett T25 and due to the froggies very considerate design its a rubbish job to get it off.... well I'm an expert at it now I've done it so many times........lol ! !
Constant smoke is seals, possibly coked bearings that have knackered the rest of it, if you do what I've said and you cannot turn the compressor wheel you know its coked up, I'd stop driving it and get it sorted, expect to pay mondo money to get it rebuilt, unless you know someone who does them for a living?
YOu could always buy a service kit from eBay and service it yourself if you fancy saving yourself £100's and I'm talking more than 5 lol
