Car holding back

[Hunty]

On the way home tonight the car starting holding back. Every time I got to about 0.7/0.8 bar of boost it really held back and started popping almost felt like I was anchoring on the brakes. Anybody have an idea on what this might be? Currently running a tongs hybrid set to 1.0 bar emanage blue etc

Thanks

Have you checked the Ignition system? Plugs leads dizzy etc? First port of call

This mate ^^^ Check ignition components for general wear and tear, leads, plugs, cap and arm etc.

Don't rule out a boost leak!

Fueling? Have you got a wideband?

Thanks for the response guys have been poking round the engine bay and found a hole in the back of a intercooler pipe it was rubbing against the gearbox going to get some new piping and re-route it better

Un plug the lambda and see what happens mine is holding back between 2k and 3k due to a faulty lambda un plugged it and it's fine now
