Hi Carmel,

Yes, it appears there is. The problem seems to occur with the hose that connects the throttle body to the intercooler. If a split or crack develops in that, it leads to a loss of turbo efficiency and a drop in engine power. The problem can be intermittent or sometimes more pronounced. There also seems to be a more complicated problem with the solenoid that controls the turbo.
