Don't be afraid to get in there with a light and pull, poke and prod a little. The hose from the turbo takes a lot of abuse and some times both intake and outlet turbo hoses are totally connected. I use a mirrow and light to get behind them. Vacuum hoses at the manifold are another source of problems. The one to the fuel pressure regulator may be cracked. Also the port to the intake manifold can be coked up with carbon. Take a wire and poke and prod. Fortunately, these cars generally have a little thing that seems to cause a big problem.

Good luck and do not trust only mechanics---do your own looking and evaluating.
