The unusual thing is it does one power run then starts playing up. Let it rest for a while and it does it again.

Ecu was build buy a gentleman in Vic. Given the circumstances he has been helpful. He is sending out another ecu just to rule out. He said it may be the coil drivers on the ecu but i wanted to know if anyone else has something similar to ensure we have everything covered off

I'd say that mania would have everything covered.

Is great that another ecu is being sent.

Just spit balling here but since it happens when attempting to raise the boost, could be map sensor, boost control or injector drivers as mentioned.

Failing that possibly a wiring gremlin.

The new ecu should rule out all of the above except the wiring, unless it is a boost setting but again, suspect mania would be all over it.

Fingers crossed the problem is fixed with the ecu

That's what I'm hoping. Fingers crossed the new ecu fixes.

If not I'll mention the wiring. But I hope it is the ecu because post this, not sure where else to look.

Thanks

You need to take it to some one who is an expert with MS.
ND has has a lot of experience and would be well worth the trip up the coast.
