I'm not familiar with turbo diesels,I did once sort out a turbo diesel engine that had lack of power even though the turbo was OK.
It turned out to be an air leak on a pipe.

So with that in mind,check thoroughly all your pipe work around the turbo,maybe have someone in the car revving it whilst you check for leaks.

Another common problem with bmw diesels is the lift pump in the tank doesn't work properly and the injection pump is left to do all the work, car will normally also be bad at starting will low fuel loads.

air leak either before the turbo or after the turbo could be a good start. As abelai said, this is also a known fault of diesels this age

thanks to all
I check the turbo and theres a leak before the turbo, im wating for the new pipe to see if thats was really the problem.
I dont think lift pump in the tank is a problem because the engine runs at the first start on the engniction, but i'll see any way.
The rpm dont work, and i allready changed the dash painel, and also the lights of inspection is on all teh time?!
I dont think thats normal! or is it??
