The mazda has a rubbish ford engine, as ford now own them

The Octavia is not much longer than the Golf, but the boot is like the grand canyon.

I think you will find its the MAS thats packing in not the turbo, you could check your air filter is seated correctly, and the clutch release bearing could be the dual mass flywheel on the way out, cheapest option if its the 1.9 tdi is to get the single system fitted at under half the cost at around £350 to £400 depending on the hourly rates

The DPF and MAS are 2 different things, the DPF is part of the exhaust and is meant to store and burn off the smaller particles.

If your DPF is regenerating it will show this as a light on the dash,

If its the MAS it means that the face of the unit could be slightly covered in road grime and the sensor is picking this up and restricting the airflow to the engine.

Now the good news look up Shark performance on the web, and you will see that they can completely remove the DPF and dial out the sensor, as its not required for an MOT, thats a thought it could just be the DPF sensor thats gone a cheap fix, even the AA or RAC can sort this at the roadside.

The single clutch and flywheel will make the car more responsive, even the economy improves slightly, had one put in my Octavia, ran it for over 200,000 miles

You dont even need a CAT on a diesel to pass the MOT
