No eml, just flat as a fart, a bit like my old 308 N/a Luton sprinter. Felt the turbo hose from the turbo and it was cool, so guessing it's all going out the waste gate.
Will need to put a reader on it and pull some codes later this week.

It's a 21yo sprinter that's never had any issues, so something perishing is highly likely!
