Due to the turbo appearing to hesitate at high acceleration I had a look round and found that there is a hose appearing to be off the turbo.
Haynes shows three hoses coming off the boost control solenoid valve and mentions them, but not where they go.
It is one of these that is hanging loose around the gearbox/turbo area and there is a nipple on the lower side of the turbo without a hose, but the hose connection does not sit naturally at that angle (i.e. after use they generally sit at the correct angle for the nipple to which they have been fitted).
Haynes also states that there are three hoses here for the turbo, but there are only two nipples on the turbo - is there another diagram somewhere?
ADDED.....
at the solenoid, the yellow hose connected to the upper nipple on the turbo, but I have just found that the connection sits more naturally on the lower nipple. The black sits more naturally on the upper nipple.
