Can you elaborate a bit? I've never had a turbo before.

On my 1.9D it measures the air the engine takes in between the air box and the turbo. When I had a boost leak, in a flexible pipe between the turbo and the manifold, air which the car had measured was leaking out. The car was fueling for 100% of the air which it measured but only 60% of that air actually reached the engine. So the car is putting in too much fuel for the air which is actually inside the engine. On my diesel it meant I was getting a hissing noise on boost when the compressed air leaked out, poorer acceleration and thick black smoke from the unburnt diesel.
