Its been, they all do that Sir.
You're being fobbed off, try another garage, preferably an indy specialist.Cold engine.
2nd gear slowly driving (up to 16mph)
Boost kicks in ( but traveling towards speed hump)
Gently lift off so as not not clatter speed hump
Boost dies and car feels like an anchor has just been thrown out.
Maybe I need to change my driving style and change gear quicker and more often but its very odd how the boost kicks in out so violently.

Just a thought - are you used to a big old diesel, but now you have a small turbo petrol? - If I remember 16mph is far too slow for 2nd gear in a tiny engine car, have you tried driving it so you don't go below 2k rpm? - so only changing to the next gear after 3k rpm, that way you are always "on-boost"
What speeds (or revs) are you changing at?
You could be on to something as I have a big diesel work van I do much more mileage in, and my previous car was a non turbo petrol with only 60bhp.What speeds (or revs) are you changing at?
Maybe im used to 'using all the revs' to make things move?
