Audi A3 1.8t trouble

[MikeCrum1996]

Hey I'm new here so bare with me,
Basically I brought an Audi A3 1.8t remapped about a month ago, it has been remapped so currently running 200bhp and 270nm of torque so the remap says.. so two weeks after buying the car the timing belt hydraulic tensioner failed and broke a few valves so I had them replaced at a cost of £2000 inc new timing kit etc.

So my problem is ever since I've had the car returned it has a horrible boost leak which it didn't have before also the mpg has dropped considerably getting 25mpg when before I had 36mpg.. also the engine light is on And flashed today for the first time ive looked at a lot of the hoses/ clamps make sure nothing is loose.

I have no idea what to do, don't know what else to look at..
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Need to scan for fault codes dude...

Also try and get a smoke test to see where any leaks are

I can hear it get to about 4K rpm sounds like a big blowing, power cuts off like 5k just makes noise no power

What do you think leaking gasket or something

It will be a split hose or a hose popped off if just had some work done

What hose ? Coming from the inlet?

I've loooked at most of the hoses that I can see n gave them a wiggle all seem fine so far

Also I forgot to mention in the post that it struggles to start every time, it always starts but takes so long sometimes

I don't have a obd scanner so no codes atm

The obvious answer is to take it back to the garage that did the work?

I wasn't a garage it was a mobile mechanic, I've already spoke to him but he's like 70miles away.. all he says is at least it's running but I have check engine light, boost leak, struggling to start..

How much stuff is needed tomb eagle removed for a head removal job?

I was driving earlier n when you put your foot down you can hear the boost leak from drivers side

Does the mechanic not stand by his work? You would think he would want to fix it like any good mechanic would.
