Hi

Car was running fine and still sounds ok when idle.
You can drive it fine but seems to be missing every now and then.
I also have some strange air release noise from the back of the engine when it gets above 2500rpm.
it seems more of whooshing noise and then some black smoke from the exhaust and in the engine bay.
I’ve not had any engine lights yet:
Any ideas what it can be?

Just checked with someone else and you can feel a jet of hot air from behind the engine near what looks like the turbo or exhaust.

Sounds like the turbo.

This sounds very similar to what happened to both a mates Zafira a few years back and my sisters old Volvo V40. There is probably a leak on the high pressure side of the air intake between the turbo and where it goes into the engine. When the turbo spins up, air leaks out of here, rather than being forced into the engine. The black smoke will be due to the airflow sensor thinking there is more air going into the engine than there is and the injectors then putting the wrong amount of fuel in.

If you're lucky, the leak will be on an air pipe rather than the turbo itself. It was on my mates car, and was a pretty cheap fix as it only needed a short section of pipe and a couple of jubilee clips.

Sounds very much like you have a split turbo pipe, possibly one that connects to the intercooler.
