Maybe the ball valve is not opening properly.
Take off the lid, and make sure that the ball can go down without touching anything. Its usually quite easy to move it a little to give it a free path.

The first thing to check is your isolating valve which supplies the water to the toilet tank. It is generally located under the toilet next to the floor, check to see it is wide open. If you do not have a valve there then perhaps your main supply is still throttled in, open it. Next thing to check is to see that the float is free to float without dragging on the side of the tank. If all of these things are okay it could be the valve which the float operates could be partially plugged with silt. That is not very likely, that usually causes a problem where the water will not shut off 100% and cause the water to leak into the toilet bowel. Aside from that I can't see why there should be any restriction provided you have not installed a supply line that is undersized. Hope you find the solution.

More than likely something to do with the ball valve. On some ballvalves ( usually the type with the tiny float) come with a pressure reducing device - it looks like a screw thread & made from plastic- you wont be ble to see it without taking the ball valve out) & the valve is supplied with 2 of these, one with a more open thread than the other ( one for high pressure supplies & one for low pressure)& at time of installation one or the other of these is inserted into the upright stem of the valve just above the incoming water supply & the purpose of it is to slightly reduce the flow of water as it enters. However if you have the wrong one inserted it could be that it is restricting the flow too much, and although the pressure will seem fine to other things it could be that it is too restricted to the WC

it is a bit difficult to answer you question without knowing what type of ball valve is fitted in your toilet. But from my experience I would say that the valve itself has dirt in it and this is restricting the flow of water. If you think you are able to do it, then you have to take the valve apart and you will find that grit or dirt is stuck in the jumper. the jumper is a white round fitting with a small hole in the middle that is where the blockage occurs.

You say your water pressure is good, but is that because you have good water flow/pressure at your kitchen sink? Is your toilet cistern filled from the mains? or from the cold header tank in the loft? Plastic ballcocks normally come with two interchangeable cone shaped jumpers, one for mains feed, one for cold water storage tank feed. Hole in the latter is bigger. If wrong one is fitted water flow will be reduced/slower with gravity feed.

once you replaced to a Torbeck valve, did you place the water lower back on completely. in case you have, then turn the water lower back off, and undo the filler pipe to the Tobeck valve and verify that there is not any dirt and so on. lodged interior the top of the pipe. whilst refitted, do away with Torbeck valve and permit water from the filler pipe run into cistern to make certain in case you have adequate rigidity. in case you have, then the fault is interior the Torbeck Valve.

It can be as alot of them siad the ballcock, but it also could be something as simple as cleaning the inside holes in your tiolet where the water comes down, they get glogged sometimes and wont allow enough water at once for it to flush.

The ballcock needs adjustment. There is a screw that regulates water flow into tank. Just adjust it until flow increases. Or change ballcock to a Fluidmaster. About $6.

Dick s has it in one !!!!!!
If you are unhappy with undoing the fitting inside the loo cistern you will have to get someone to do it for you,
Turn off water to cistern, small valve near floor, or you might have to turn off at the tank in attic.Remove the arm in its entirity, remove the plastic oriface and replace with a low pressure type with a bigger hole obtained from B & Q or plumbing supplier.
Sometimes the act of removing the arm reveals dirt/gunge in the oriface.

Try checking the water valve, maybe its not turned on all the way? Or is the tolet bigger than the last one?
