    Loss of power following Milltek install

    I have just had a complete Milltek system, incl downpipe and cat, installed on my 82000km RS2, possibly replacing original ex-factory system. Power seems to be down and there is no feeling of the turbo kicking in around 3K, which it did ferociously before.
    Any ideas where I should start looking to solve this problem .... I need to get it back to the way it was! Any suggestions therefore greatly appreciated!

      Long shot but did they disturb anything on the turbo itself when fitting the downpipe?
      Have you fitted a boost gauge to see if youve got a boost leak somehow?

          Can it be that because of the new system you have a boost spike and them it goes into safe mode?
          Go Holset or Go RS4
