So what has happened is my one fuel injector and spark plug malfunctioned in cylinder 2 which caused obviously a loss in power... And as for the turbo "hissing" noise, this was caused by the turbo working harder than usual trying to compensate for the one cylinder being down.

Essentially I was running on 3 cylinders and my turbo was overworking to compensate. That's all I know for now. The car is currently still in reprogramming and will need to be kept overnight. :'( Then tomorrow once the reprogramming and software upgrades have been completed they will do their final tests and hopefully I get it back. If there's any other news I will keep you all posted.
