Not running right after timing belt change

It's possible it's a transmission issue? Maybe your throw out bearing is going bad and causing the choppy idle? Could you upload a video of your symptoms at idle and while driving?

maybe when you put the new timing belt you timed it too advanced, were you sure to lock the cams and the tdc pin?

So shop foreman is looking at it. He's gonna check if the timing is off. He said the cams have 5 degrees of compensation that'll not throw an engine light or misfire but be down on power.

It's not timing, replaced downpipe issue persists. Dealer is still looking at it. At my wits end, they think its the turbo now, but it's making full boost. I wouldn't think a bad turbo would make full boost, and I don't want to keep throwing parts at it

Final update. It was timing. Computer didnt pick anything up and all values looked good but crank had rotated back a few degrees when loosening the pulley. There were no misfire and no other symptoms other than lack of power and a stumble when the clutch was pushed in
