85 urq - changed motor mount, lost engine power

[Alan Pemberton <alan_pemberton@bc.sympatico.ca>]

I have just finished replacing the turbo side engine mount.  On reassembly, the engine 
starts normally but there is no power and no boost although the car is driveable.  

To gain access to the top mounting nut, the hose and tubes connected to the air intake 
plenum were disconnected, the branch hose from the main turbo discharge to inlet header 
connected to the multiway tubing connector behind the metering unit wastegate was 
disconnected, the bolts holding the metering unit to the plastic top of the air cleaner 
box were disconned and the fuel metering unit tipped backwards until vertical.  The air 
filter and box were removed.  Reassembly was, I thought, the reverse of dismantling but 
obviously not.

The concertina hose from the inlet plenum to the turbo inlet was found to have bulged 
inside - it seems to have more than one layer and the inner layer had blooned, presumably 
under suction.  This has been temporarily repaired whilst I get a new hose.

Before I take things apart, can anyone provide a lead - the symptoms seem to be those of 
a major air leak but this would have to be before the air metering unit or presumably the 
mixture would be too lean to fire.

Thanks in advance
