          Could be a possible slight leak in your hose to the turbo happened to mine a while ago - you'll be accelerating and all of a sudden a bit of a bang and a complete lack of power?????

                Check the TPS connection, sounds just like the experience I had last week when it wasn't clipped on properly. It's the wide connector behind the the throttle body. At 1500 rpm it just cut completely, like it stalled, but then picked up when revs dropped to idle.
