Default Strange problem

2wd drive saff, drove to Castle Combe Saturday fine on the way home had a play with a FQ300 up the motorway and all of a sudden when the boost gets to 10 psi the engine cuts for a sec the rev counter goes madly up and down and the it will boost up to 17 psi and the same every gear???

Any Ideas?

Sounds like it could be a problem with crank/phase sensors...

Coz I be-grudge paying someone Ł30 upwards an hour to stand there and try and find a problem, I dont mind paying for work that I can't do or don't have the equipment to do. But I am paranoid that they will find he prob in 5 mins and then tell me it took 3 hours and sting me for it, unfortunatly I do not have a good enough relationship with any tuners or garages to put it in
