No, they're not, and sounds like too much leather polish has been used on the drives seat cushion

Just been out again in it. Driving along gentle power up a bit and it picks up well hit the power a bit more and its like a turbo kicks in and my life does it move. Feels just like my old sarb when it hits 3000 rpm

The turbo engine comes in the form of the 1.8 turbo k series engine. At least your VIS motors must be working...

So you're thrashing an old car. It will be the VIS motors, the power kicks in about 3000 rpm.
