How are you controlling fuel? What do your AFRs look like?
If the answer is "what?" or "Stock fuel system", then GTFO with stupid questions about why your car runs like **** and just finish blowing it up. If you don't even have the sense to run a wideband O2 sensor with a bandaid setup, there is no helping you.
TL;DR- Probably because you don't have any way of controlling the fueling or monitoring it.

Oh my lord. Like said above, read the FAQs this is covered.

Notice how it says things to consider BEFORE turbocharging your vehicle. Don't know how you managed to post in this sub forum and not see the stickies....

Get on they are much friendlier there particularly to people who are "just getting started". Most of the guys on this forum are frankly light years ahead of you, its a bit like asking on an electrical engineering forum how to program a VCR. And of course the classifieds are going to be of more use to you on a British forum.
However as nobody is willing to give you an answer, here is the short version.
Do not buy a wideband first. If you have no fueling setup that MUST be the next thing you do. Do not take lightly what we are saying about not driving it again. The turbo is forcing in ALOT more air and you have to force in more fuel to match. As the car sits now, EVERY TIME you go into boost you are damaging the engine a little bit. Permanently. It will not take long to ruin it.
Get on nuts, read the "guides" section about forced induction. read the F.A.Q. at the top of this forum. then start asking questions once you know the fundamentals.
