I agree. It was my understanding a Turbo doesn't come on until 3000+

3000rpm before a turbo kicks in on a Diesel? That's not normal.

Check for a vacuum leak for starters, as long as you're sure the turbo isn't actually dead.

took the intercooler top pipe of today to see if turbo is boosting and seems to be. i also took the injectors out cleaned them and put new seals as they were all leaking over the engine. now not leaking it seems a little better so im wondering if i have low fuel pressure somewere. does anyone no how i can check the low pressure pump and the high pressure pump?
thanks matt

You need to stick it on planet and look at the fuel parameters to see what its reading.

You're right. I must admit I don't really watch the tacho like a hawk but mine was kicking in around 2000rpm when I looked this morning.
