zt 1.8 lack of power

[kaizer]

Been reading all i can but cant find why my 05 plate zt 1,8 turbo is sluggish, had new turbo, o2 sensor,kat,no codes on scanner spent lots of time at the garage but still the same, anybody know of any common fault so i can get back to normal again, now fed up!

still sounds like a turbo to me. does it run ok when not driving quickly

Could be intercooler hoses - see here for more info: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9653

Secondly, how do you know that you are getting less power than you feel you should? What are you comparing the car against (for example, another ZT 1.8 Turbo)?

Hi again folks, it has had a new turbo and the garage said it was working fine and no pipes split or intercooler damage.My friend has the same car and his is a lot quicker, do the ecu get damp cos they are in a bit of a silly place although no codes come up? The garage has no idea, has anybody else please?
