Looks like all issues are fixed by replacing the Turbo and Intake Hose.
The mechanic told me that the faulty turbo doesn't look like an original so my guess would be that the garage that sold me the car put a dodgy turbo on it.
I now find out today that the garage I have my car booked in with to replace the turbo don't want to do it if it's not new.

I also went into the local Peugeot dealership to pickup a new headlight washer cap cover which Ive been waiting 2 months for and cost £70 and they ordered the part for the RCZ R instead which is twice the width. They then tell me the part for the...
Can someone explain how the Air Intake waste hose works?
When I was fitting the silicone air intake hose I had to do a bit of DIY on the waste hose. Could that have caused it? Although I'm sure that noise was there before just very faint until I fitted the new hose as the old hose wasn't...
No idea.
The bits are so small at first I thought it was oil (there was a very very small amount of oil) but then it flaked off and it was hard when pressed.
What is a hybrid unit.
I was trying to see if it was cheaper to get the Turbo rebuilt first.
A garage who fixed my snapped bolt issue...
Here's something odd that I haven't mentioned before.
When I took the MAP Sensor off to clean very small bits of plastic fell off of it around the green sensor area.
No idea where they came from as all the plastic looks intact.
