Has now cut out 3 times while on accelerating after i cleaned my Boost Solonid on Saturday, 1 once sat straight after i did it and 2 times yesturday. Its like it might be over boosting. I have got to get a boost gauge cause im not sure if it is.

Did you overfill the oil and that's why you had to clean the solenoid? - just asking as that's what happened to my car when I bought it. Garage put in too much oil, I had to drop out 0.5'ish of a litre and clean out the solenoid valve and pipework. Had to do it a few times - found it worked best cleaning with solvent and quickly sticking the hose back on and giving it some revs.

It will be just that, as an experiment try restricting the went pipe from the boost solenoid, the one that comes from the bottom of the solenoid, don't block it but sat pinch to restrict, see if that helps, if so than thats the problem.
