When i first viewed the car the Head Unit was broken, and wouldn't not eject a CD, but that was fixed. Quite possibly these two could be related!

Just though I'd update!
Turns out it was a split pipe, the first garage must've just not looked well enough!
Thanks everyone

maf sensor will be easiest to change but you could see if it needs a clean and try this first.
wastegate could be more expensive due to its location
That;s basically what the mechanic said.... really hope it's not the wastegate, as i'm every so slightly broke atm
I had similar problem. The issue is related to a popped hose. Either from the intercooler exit to the intake manifold OR the turbo exit back to the intercooler. Check for oil leakage or spray of oil.
I am pretty sure its a blown hose. Best you replace all your hoses to silicone type ie Samco etc. They last way longer.
Note - my ford hoses appeared to be cracked when i took them out to inspect. My leakage was at the intercooler to intake manifold ( split at the intercooler side)
I was hoping it was this, but they had a look at the pipes when it was in the garage, and couldn't see anything....

Had a look at the pipes and they all seem to be as they should,
Took the air filter out, and it was very very dirty, so getting a new one tomorrow, and we shall see if it solves it.
