Citroen Dispatch - Turbocharger - Kieran Quinn
Hi All

I will keep this short, recently a 110 hp turbocharger was fitted instead of the 90hp which should have been installed. Would that be why I get sometimes get no response when I accelerate particuarlly above 30mph, and, between 30 and 50mph.
It’s feels ok in 1st and 2nd gear but lacks response after that.
I also found that the air intake pipe (down stream of filter) is loose fitted, i.e there is no indication that there should be a clamp, or other way of securing the pipe,

Sorry for my lack of technical know how,

Kieran

Take it back and ask them to do the job correctly.

Surely that should be the obvious thing to do.
