its happend twice now, 1st time in 2nd gear put me foot to the floor she boosted really hard then felt like i.d just ran into the back of a hgv then the samething in 3rd gear the other day down the dual carrageway, each time i've had a peak reading of 0.94 hkpa of boost on my blitz boost controller but still only have standard ecu in at the mo should i not be seeing fuel cut before, i've had a ratch can't find a fcd or anything,

+ i'm getting a vac reading of - 48 when she's ticking over is this ok ?

sounds like fuel cut pal....does the eml come on at all when this happens,
usually it will come on and swicth off if its a soft ful cut but if its a hard cut the light usually stays on untill u switch the car off and turn it back on....do a diagnostic check to see if you find any fault codes i think fuel cut is code 34(excessive boost pressure) a FCD will stop fuelcut but you will also need a FPR.
