Not as yet, I'm waiting for the rolling road to be complete, Hamish said that would be best.

I don't think it is down to the turbo, The timing belt tensioner has been on and off the car bout 6 times, and your supposed to change them after 3 tops, if i'm not mistaken, so my fault for being a bight tight really, car runs great with the turbo, about 1.1 bar of boost and doesn't run lean.
