coolant useage isn't great but it sounds more like a blocked or holed intercooler, split or delaminated turbo hose, knackered egr valve or blocked fuel/air filter/s to me. Can you hear the turbo spooling up? is there any smoke out the exhaust? if so what colour? when did you last change the filters? how bad were they? does it have the egr removed?

hi i have never really been able to hear the turbo whistle like i can my friends the filters have all been changed recently and there is a little white smoke out of the exhaust now and again the egr is still there
