Since fitting my new turbo, I've noticed that when I set off in the morning and also to go home from work, I have no power, feels exactly like I've blown a boost hose off.
It also appears to be struggling to make any boost, the gauge shows very little at all, sub 8 psi at a guess.
As soon as it starts to warm up (maybe 2 mins driving) the power comes in all of a sudden and it's fine, no issues and drives really nicely
It's worth noting that I always take it really easy on a cold engine, I'm not trying to get much from it, but this really is weak. Also that I still have no air intake piping, so even though the MAF is plugged in, it won't be giving correct readings, if any.
I'm guessing that this is just the cold map, and the fact that this turbo is just a little bit more laggy, it's making it really obvious. But any thoughts would help!
