Hello Omega owners,
ive got an elite 2.2dti that is misbehaving !
namely some sort of low gear/speed lag on pull away, turbo had blown so took it to garage where recon new turbo    replaced, lack of power followed although all was ok before turbo fail ?! egr had been done air mass now done + all hoses checked, even inlet manifold off cleaned etc - 
turbo works fine when in 3/4/5 gears and pulls well, seems to get to 3.5k rpm in 3rd then really flies
garage have drawn a blank 
any thoughts, im thinking of selling as ive got a backup motor, but is a shame as only 2 owners(inc me) the other was a funeraL director, its done 145k.....
all the best to you all,.

Thanks Omega Baron , i cant really fault the boys in the garage as theyve had pipes on and off like a plumber ! but we all know its gotta be something daft ........... just like youve suggested, i spose sometimes youve gotta walk away and let the dust settle and go again with fresh eyes !
sorry to be all literary 
hope spains treating you well and thanks again, if i get a result i ll let you know
all the best
