Is the intake hose delaminating inside? They can look ok but actually be guffed

Top hose is fubar.

Also check air filter isn't clogged

Im guessing the top hose should expand iv tried a different top hose and dus the same.

No unless the turbo is not producing enuff pressure for the amount the engine is sucking

Put a pressure gauge on the turbo wastegate pipe, small black hose on the turbo, T peice join to a gauge and see what it's doing.. Should be about 1.1 bar on full boost. If that's fine, check from the air intake all the way to to the engine manifold intake. As it's black smoking but no power suggests lack of air
