Not Jimny related - question for mechanics

Hi Jimx5 - the issue is with constant turbo, not just initial spool up. Foot on floor, let it go up through the revs, it is not a smooth power delivery. Feels like something (fuel starvation?) holding it back as it surges the power in and out.

Could the waste gate be opening?

I had a problem a few years ago with a diesel turbo, there was just a general lack of power and then all of a sudden a pop and almost no power at all. Turns out the hose came off the inter-cooler and then you get virtually no air in to the engine.

If it is not a sensor is it a loose pipe?

Think I need to do a check on all the pipes. Not sure about the waste gate, it is very quiet under operation so difficult to listen out for.
