a few things come to mind.
check for leaks on the turbo pipes.
assume you have checked the air filter.
check fuel filter in case its blocked.
sounds like boost pressure is low at low revs.

i check all pipes and turbo.discovered it was the air flow meter on the air filter. i have now changed that and seems to be running ok but cant get rid of the anti polution alarm , what else is covered by this, is there any more sensors to look for. regards kev

it stays on after the fault is sorted. you will need a diagnostic to to erase the fault from the engine ecu.
