Possible air leak? Check all pipes, and around intercooler too. Could even be the uppipe as these can split.

Thanks for the reply, would a blowing up pipe cause such a dramatic power loss? Thanks

If it's leaking you will lose power due to the poor turbo spool up, they normally run rough if this has happened.

either a specialist or your mapper, you need to see what is going on so some diagnostic equipment will be required.
