Need some advice on this - my local indie recently proceeded to destroy my turbo whilst "burning" in a new CAT on my exhaust. To be fair they admitted to it immediately, paid for a replacement and delivered it to my door good as new 3 days later.
Problem is, took it for a drive tonight and it just feels really really unresponsive, I really had to hit the pedal hard and hold it to get any significant response. The power is there but takes and age to seem to come, seems to be bujilding up but not instant... is this an issue with the new turbo? Does it need coding or something to work properly? Do you just have to let these things "run in" and it'll get gradually faster over the next few weeks?
I know the car has had a new turbo before and that wasn 't a BMW one, and neither is the one they have fitted, but I have never known the car feel so unresponsive. I've driven 1.6 Focus TDCi's with more response on the pedal.
Also, there's a definite hissing noise coming from the engine bay when I lifted the lid to have a gander after my run (whilst I was letting the turbo run down). Seriously worried they've botched the replacement or done some other damage when the turbo blew originally.
Can anyone give me some thoughts/advice?
