    Hi all.

    Got my 04 Vectra C back last night having had the turbo replaced. No problems when the turbo kicks in but it's got very little power below 3000 revs, in any gear. I'm going back to the mechanic this evening. I would like to have an idea of what the problem might be before returning the car to him so if anyone here has any suggestions as to what it may be, they'd be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Yip

    It's a re-cond turbo ( with a 1 year warranty).

    Ok thanks. I'm pretty sure the turbo itself is fine as there are no problems once it kicks in. An air flow problem perhaps?
