The brakes and turbo are not working properly

Hi everyone. Our car is 1.6 TDCi 2007 Ford Focus. The brake and clutch hydraulic is new and all the brake pads are new, disks are in good condition. Brakes almost won't work when you pressing the brake pedal. All the glow plugs and injector seals have been replaced but there is a problem with the brakes and the turbo. Could this problem be related to the vacuum pump or is it related to the brake hoses? I've heard that the solution will be in the N75 valve but I don't know anything. I'm waiting for your replies.

    If your pedal goes to the floor when breaking and it's basically not slowing down then you have air in the system still or you have a collapsed break pipe if it still doesn't work properly after getting all air out.

    Your turbo could have a tiny hole in any of the pipes and it won't function properly. But if the turbo rattles then you need another.
