sounds like an ignition related issue. are you certain the car is set up and fueling correctly?

Does it feel harsh when the
Revs drop? A weak pipe from metering unit to the turbo can collapse And cause the car to almost cut out

could be, what i thought coil or [poss plugsleads, that type of thing. what gpm suggested sounds more feasible though if its a common fault. could be worth investigating pipes/hoses for age/heat related deteriation. jano is the kiddy when it comes to setting the cvh turbo up going on what the clued up types on here reckon.

If it is the pipe collapsing its the big one that goes from the front inlet on the turbo into the metering unit
