Which side of the turbo? If before the turbo it would suggest too much back pressure or a restrictive turbo not flowing. If after the turbo it would likely be too lean a mixture.

Almost impossible to speculate as you will appreciate Bob, hence i said not "Necessarily" a problem to stop others instantly worrying about their red manifolds.. lol.
Ignition retard is deffo a possibility, as is incorrect turbine housing amongst other thingss, but again, it may be fine... may be time for a pro to look her over.
