Hi all
I've had power issues so I have cleaned the EGR Valve and the map sensor. New air filter and new crank case filter and had the actuator freed up which had all made massive improvement.
I've read that there are 3 hoses going to the turbo and boost selonoid.
I've looked at trying to find the turbo from underneath and the top no look so I'm guessing it buried. Can some one tell me how to get to the turbo so can check these hoses for splits as this is the last thing I can think to change to stop the dip in power or can there be any other cause

the turbo hoses are at the front of the engine the intercooler is in front of the rad and they run from there the actual turbo is on the exhaust manifold at the back of the engine

The 3 small ones do you mean or the inlet and intercooler ones ?

Yes they are about 7mm thick, they run from the turbo to a plenum chamber (bulb) and there is also a pipe that runs to the EGR control valve, a split pipe will cause a loss of vacuum resulting in loss of boost and the egr valve not working.
