Yep..all sorted..things i did.

Full filter and oil change.
Replaced Oil breather pipe (was split)
New lift pump.
Cleaned intercooler.
Moved air intake on filter as much as poss to get away from engine heat.


Now it'll do 30mpg on a run...and i gave it the beans once to see how it went...showed over 70mph on the clock, which is average 10% under and was still more in her...but that was enough.

Pulls well on boost. Still takes 10 secs to start on a cold day but i'm going to change the plugs and injectors when spring comes as well as the fuel pipes, seem to have a slight leak on one of the injector pipes.

All in all well pleased...and appreciate the help and ideas.
 
Sorry to drag this up, at which point did the performance return. Having the same issues here! Used to do 85mph, now struggling at around 60 :(
