Car idles good when setting in park when put in drive the cars runs fine up to about 15mph then when increase acceleration the turbo boost shoots to the red and the car seems like it has lost all power and shuts down car will start right back up has fuel flow and the plugs have been changed.
By the sound of it you could have one or both of these problems.
1. a vacuum leak which is causing the car to over boost.
2. ignition fault which is causing the car to die.
1. look in the engine bay and look for small rubber hoses, check all you can find and look for cracks or splits. make sure you check the small rubber hose on the turbo itself.
2. you may have a faulty spark plug, coil pack, HT lead (depending on which engine you have)
1 is probably your boost problem
2 is your cutting out problem
i hope this helps

sounds like you have a problem with the spark the coil may be on its
way out or there may be oil in the spark plug holls shorting out the
spark.
your best bet is to pull the leads out 1 at a time and and look down
and check for oil if there is oil there get a new rocker cover gasket.
if no oil refit plug leads loosely and start the car remove one lead at
a time slowly and look at the spark cumming out the end off the lead is
it blue? if so it is ok if it is yellow and dull you have a coil
problem. also check that the spark is only coming out the end of the
lead as it may be coming out the side of the lead and shorting to earth,
you can do this by slowly moving the lead around the top of the spark plug holl and see were the spark is coming from
be carfull no to shock your self as it hearts like hell
good luck
