Fuel cut Defender? Feels like you suddenly hit a brick wall?

You might be over-boosting. Thats bad.

dodgy maf if you haven't been fiddling with the boost via a manual controller (a dawes device or something similar).

Start saving.

well i have a full exhaust system thats all, and a downpipe. it had a boost controller, which iv taken out as it wer runing on original ecu, i thort the ecu might be cuting it of for protection. but its still doing the same thing, when i have ma foot down and kik the turbo in then it cuts of n goes n cuts of. but when i kik in the turbo nice n slow then press it, it goes. cud it be the MAF. if so, how much would it cost for a new 1 .
