Slugglish when cold, cutting out and inconsistent temperature

My 182 seems to be sluggish for about the first 15-20 mins of driving. The other day it cut out twice on idle. I've also noticed the temperature fluctuates from just about half way, to just over, then back under etc a fair bit which none of my other cars have done.

It also seems a little heavy on fuel compared to my ph1 172. It has averaged 32mpg over the last 200 miles but most of that has been a-road and motorway at legal speeds.

I'm leaning towards it being a temperature sensor/thermostat issue but recently I had a cat back exhaust system fitted and it is blowing, it makes like a turbo suction noise under acceleration. I'm wondering if it could be that.

Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett
