Odd, only othe things I can think are possibly a kinked boost hose? When it heats up it'll cause a vacuum.
Also I would maybe check that the actuator is securely connected to the wastegate arm. Its possible the E-Clip has come adrift.

wouldnt the management 'step in' so to speak and cut the boost
if it was over boosting, just as described?
worth checkin. especially as you say it does it more
up-hill where the engine is loaded more, therefore producing the boost
easier/quicker?
prolly wrong though!

A few have had problems with the actuator rod coming adrift which is why I suggested checking that, its only a little E-clip that holds it to the wastegate control arm. One of the lads went to ford to get a new clip and the only way the parts guy could see to get the E-clip was to order a complete turbo unit!

Sounds like what my RS did when over boosting
I have a boost cut mapped in so if it does overboost it cuts the ignition or something but its makes the car jolt and a horrible noise and scared the fook out of me When i looked it was going over 20 psi then it would
Watch your boost gauge and see what boost its going to when this happens

Mine does something very similar in 4th at 100ish almost like a flat spot where it seems to pull back when your foots planted but I've spoken to a few owners and theirs does exactly the same When exactly is it happening?
