Curious thing happened yesterday, car was warmed up not quite to the point the needle normally sits but well past the cold stage. I floored it and got high boost for 2 sec then a bad judder for 1 sec and reduced power (-150bhp) for about 1 sec then all OK.

As I was overtaking at the time I was not looking at the instuments but once past the truck I looked and the temp guage had dropped by about 40% ?

What's going on ? Dodgy guage ? Probabaly caused some wear on the turbos ? I have never tried but does the engin manageent stop one from flooring it if the engine is cold ?

Can't comment on the power loss, it shouldn't do that!
But mine is the same on the temperature front, you think it's nearly up to normal temp. floor it & find it drops back to half normal levels. I only have a short 20 minute drive into work & in reality it probably takes 15 minutes to fully warm up, frustrating!!!
