Welcome to the forum. It is a terrible thing to be stuck so far from home. The problem you describe does not sound like a quick fix and workshops are closed on a Sunday. Even if you do find a reasonable priced workshop tomorrow the car will have to be checked in for repairs which will be a couple of days. You may have to consider making alternative arrangements to extend your stay in Durbs or for the car to be trailed back to Lichtenberg.

All the best. :thumbs:

BLACK smoke means incomplete combustion.. which means either overfueling( too much fuel ) or too little air (boost problem)

boost pipes leak, intercooler leak, turbo actuator malfunction, turbo failure would all cause no boost or low boost ( too little air)

fuelpressure control solinoid , ect might cause overfueling .. but im leaning towards boost problems.. just because your turbo was done a few months ago does not mean it cant be your turbo..

tell us more about your model and year..
