The power VIS doesn't come in until 3200 rpm so your sluggishness below that is probably down to something else, or simply the fact that the 2.0 isn't as good at shifting 1600kg of car as the 2.5. As far as the noise is concerned, which side is it coming from? If it's from the right hand side of the car then it may well be the beginning of manifold chamber failure. If it's from the left it might be the purge valve which sounds quite similar and is meant to sound like that.
