Holy thread revival batman!
Did anyone or OP get to the bottom of this?
I've had the same issue with mine. When I bought my car I scanned it with vida, a code for swirl flaps came up, sure enough the linkage had come off. Drove faultlessly on a 50 mile journey home...
Did an 80 mile journey faultlessly today until it came to overtaking on a motorway, flat, no poke, accelerated extremely slowly, I couldn't feel the turbo. So popped off at a junction, attempted to pull off, dangerous (lack of) acceleration. Parked up to check things. Decided to reconnect the swirl motor and started it up... Back to normal?! Turbo kicked in, drove perfectly! Added another 40 miles, and a further 200 miles homeward bound, without fault.

I'm hoping this is a one off. But I'm going to clean the intake and replace her flaps. At 169k without history or evidence of egr cleaning, I suspect gummage to the max!
