Losing power Vectra 2.0TDI (74kW)   
Hi,

I have a vectra 2.0TDI (100hp). A few weeks ago, I had to replace the rubber 
hose between the output of the turbo and the engine.
It was thorn. It cost me 150 euro. Now, I have the impression that my turbo 
does not work, I feel less power.
Already removed exhaustpipe (catalysator) and checked if it was very dirty 
or even constipated, blew it out with a compressor... I feel no change.

Is there a way to find out if the Turbo still works? Can they check this on 
the computer in the garage?


Thanks

Check that nothing is restricting the air flow in to the engine.  Air 
filter, inlet etc etc.
