I have been having considerable power drops recently.

Garage checked most things and all ok, boost was reaching 0.9 Thought a change of wastegate controller had fixed it but it hasnt. Maybe improved it slightly. Seems to always run well from cold for first few minutes then power just goes up and down like a yoyo.

Just noticed yesterday that it was near its worst (fuel near empty). Filled it up to top and power was excellent when I pulled out of garage. Never noticed this before but could there be some sort of fuel pressure problem?

Any ideas welcome. thx.

Get your fuel pressure and lambda readings checked when it happens?

Have you uprated to the Walbro fuel pump, if so and you used the supplied filter then its not reaching the bottom of the tank and you need to refit the old filter to the new pump.
