What he ^^ said?

It sounds like there is a restriction, the reason it revs as you describe is as there is no load applied.

Hyia thanks guys for the reply I found the silencer in the middle part had a faulty internal pipe blocking air flow under load I have had the bits changed on warranty and the car is spot on
