Driving home 2nite ,put my foot down about half throttle "ish" , boost started building and the engine died , imediately took my foot off and the engine ran :confused: , tried it again -boost coming on strong ,engine died , took my foot off, ran lovely .

Its running perfect under normal driving but not under boost :headvswal .

Any ideas chaps, could the ptu starting to breakdown cause this? thanx allan

Wondered if anybody has had the same happen?

No I was going to say that its the old cone filter vortex problem. But the funnel shape of the apexi filter stops that from happening.

 

It could be the PTU or the MAS. Run an ECU diag. Also clean the connections on both of the units.
