Default Fiesta Turbo problems

Had to happen, she's been pretty much good as gold since I got her and I said to a mate she'd never put a foot wrong. Last night things went wrong

Was in third gear at about 2500rpm and gave it a boot full and nothing happened, boost climbed but the revs didn't. Lifted off and put my foot down again and it went really well. Then I opened her up again and she pinked like mad. Then I tried again and she went quickly again. Decied to leave things alone and just nurse her home and on light throttle she jerks and hesitates and I'm getting lots of popping when decelerating.

I have a new fuel pump to go in but fear this isn't my problem

Spec is
T3
195 chip
701 injectors
CVH35 cam
Pace Interwarmer

Any help or suggestions as cash is tight right now so can't afford to pack her off to my mate Rob at SCC to be sorted

Does sound like a vacum problem, check all the hoses are connected and sealed and follow all the vacum lines....

Are you running amal valve.

Had a quick look Rob mate but all looks fine on the vac pipe front

Amal valve has been removed. I'm only running about 11-12psi
