Noisy turbo, lack of oomph. Any ideas?

My 2007 Focus 1.8 Tdci feels like it's down on power when accelerating and the turbo is noisy when running. It's not a harsh mechanical noise, more of a whooshing sound, but it's certainly much louder than it used to be.

I got home after dark so haven't had a good look under the bonnet, does anyone know what the cause might be?

Thanks for looking.

I shall check those out.

I was hoping it was nothing too serious.

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll check those out.
