Thanks Ler. I think you may be right. I did all of the above. All hoses and wires seem to be attached. I cleaned the banjo bolt fitting and hose. etc but still drives like the turbo isn't working or something like that, like you said severe loss of power. I have been driving it like that since yesterday. I'll give it another day or two and see if it fixes itself.....

Sorry to hear mannyt, the exact same thing happened to me as well when I washed the engine. After the wash, I rinsed everything down and took it out for a spin. There was severe loss of power, almost as if the turbo was no longer worknig properly. I drove the car that day with the power loss for a good 80 miles and the darned thing fixed itself, which leads me to believe water got somewhere it shouldn't have (boost sensor, etc.).

I'd say, if nothing else is wrong with your car, drive it around for a couple of days and let things get hot and dry. You can always troubleshoot if this doesn't work.
