Hi Rob,
Be assured that the oil has nothing to do with your problem!The 0W 40 is not "too heavy" for the turbo!A lot of turbos work on 5W 40 and even 10W40,so this would not be a problem as this more than adequate to lubricate the spinning rod in the turbo.
But ,I know you will not be satisfied if you dont change that oil,so change it on all accounts but drain it to a clean recipient ,because if you find the car is still the same after the oil change,you can always re-use that oil for something else.
I would take the car to the dealer ,DONT tell them that you did anything in the car and just mention the loss of power issue when hot and you explained here,and ask for a full diag test to be done on the car .They may have a software update that will cure the issue.
Keep us posted.
