I've had a few problems with mine n another was the dump valve, if drive it and as soon as it hit boost it would really badly hesitate to go unless I floored it it would stay at 8 psi and then after 2-3 secs it would boost to 14psi and away I'd go.
Found it was the dump valve sticking open and it was fine for ages before that.
I've blanked mine off now and not had any problems since

Try getting the ecu read through the diagnostic port, some garages still have the equipment ive got my own one its autodiagnose and helped me out no end when i converted the orion to efi on ofac, the diagnostc connectors are on the top of the left inner wing near the top mount there triangular in shape.That may shed some light on the problem.

Have you checked the fuel pressure ? when it starts to choke up is it black out of exhaust?

If its running rich before cutting out could be fuel pressure reg or duff water temp sensor.

What might be a idea is to find a mobile krypton tuner who can monitor fuel and check electrical system kv volts on leads, cylinder performance etc.
