    Fuel pump could be on its way out. Maybe the fuel filter is blocked putting extra strain on it

    Does it only happen on corners? Going right I take it? Do you ever get the symptoms driving hard in a straight line? Sounds like fuel starvation but could be an electrical fault with a wire rubbing or moving when car turns. How is your earth lead positions? My advice is to look at the simple stuff first, change your fuel filter and check your earth points on engine and chassis. Also what condition is your airfilter? Check it's not restricted. Hope you get it sorted matey.

    Could be an intercooler problem, If one of your pipes where loose or split it would also give the same issues. Give your hoses a good check. Also is your your boost coming in as normal or is it just on the throttle from nothing you feel the hesition, the simpilist things are the hardest to find but the most rewarding cuz you usually find them yourself lol.

    well I could ask who he took the car too to get the codes read then fitted a throtle position sensor but car is still running bad. Asking questions on here and having a check yourself could save you money but will get you familiorised with your car.

    Check the lines from your boost solenoid for blockages too. Although I don't think they could cause the engine to actually cut out. Could cause the hesitation though. Good luck getting it sorted.

    Indeed it could but if you have a check yourself it could save you from taking it to a specialist who will charge you to just have a look.

    Keiran

    Is this the car that needed mapped? Has it been mapped or was it put back to how it was ie the normal injectors and turbo and running on the ecu for that set up?
