Default bought a new turbo

and have been told by stu its very laggy so i have taken it off and discovered that the 2wdmanifold its fitted to has 1 bolt left in it where the two pieces join each other and you can move the manifold sections and get a slight gap, there are also only 9 bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the head , the rest have fell out

am i right in thinkin this is the cause of my lag as the turbo is still new and has no cracks etc

I'd say yes is the answer! Make sure you use the proper ford bolts to mount the 2 pieces of the manifold together, they cost about £8 EACH, but they do the job
