    Unwell 888! :( HELP!

    On my way back from work from Lichfield driving normally as I would on the long stretches of dual carriageways I come up to an island where I see a white Corsa come at speed.. Next thing you know the driver wants a race.. He couldnt keep up but it was quick.. Anyway Come to the main set of traffic lights by Great Barr and theres this Fabia VRS who wants to race so I leave them both off the lights but he still isnt far behind.. Not happy at all.. Enough of my long story my point is I think the 888 is lacking power somewhere. When I slowed down at the speed cameras he was gone and I couldnt catch up. Embarrassingly I couldnt catch the corsa either and that was a 1.7 CDTi SRi 12 Reg.. Could anyone give me any tips on what I could do to get it running healthy again.. In the morning ive noticed that it gives of quite a bit of blueish smoke after struggling to start.. Your help would be much appreciated guys

    Ohh I forgot to add when I did a pedal test earlier this evening it showed the following codes after ECN:

    10008
    10021
    38004
    3800F

    It just doesn't seem like anything near 200bhp at all

    You could also check the EGR and boost sensor aren't blocked and check the swirl flaps are working properly...

    The boost sensor is on the back of the engine near the bulkhead... I'll get a picture of it later for you but it has one bolt holding it in and its got a funny diamond shaped body with a connector attached to it...
