I'm at the end of my tether with this one, so hopefully someone can help. I've been through every "power" related thread and still can't find an answer

So the story goes:


The issue happens in all gears if they're *(acceleration) held for too long, so I've gotten into the habbit of short shifting and just sitting at 60 on the motorway. All is fine until I either let the revs wander up a bit too high or I hit a hill. The engine starts the clatter, they're a huge ploom of black smoke out the back and all power is lost. I've tried keeping my foot planted but it just gets slower and slower. lifting off and accelerating again brings back normal power until it happens again.

Strange thing is that once it happens that first time it'll do it totally at random while driving. The slightest load increase by going up a hill, an increase in head wind or even over taking a lorry can trigger the power cut again. If the car is turned off fully then started again it'll cruise past trucks at 60mph without any issues at all

I've had a nanocom plugged in during a test run and the turbo pressure drops totally when this happens

Any ideas?

I experienced a very similar issue. So my journey to find the issue starts now.... 😭😭😭😭😭
