Unhappy Hesitation and stuttering

Hi, I've a problem with my car (My94 uk turbo) when I accelerate hard the car goes so far and then it feels like theres a major shutdown in something-juddering etc. I was pointed in the direction of overboost but how do i cure this? Maf, lamda etc are all fine, just got anew oil, fuel and panel filter and I've checked all the pipeing. I'm doing a 1000k charity drive with the Irish Subaru drivers club at the weekend and would like to try and get it cured before this.
Any advice would be a godsend....
Cheers
Jon

A mate of mine had a similar problem and it turned out to be Plugs

May be worth a look

Check the plug gap, should be .7, fit a boost gauge to check for over boost & if it is a dawes device boost controller is a cheap cure around £45 dependent on which model

Don't mention mileage though if you recently changed the plugs it could also be your coil packs.......

I tried cleaning it already, and hve checked all the coil packs. the car is a 94 uk turbo just shy of the 100,000 mark, and very healthy apart from this... thanks for the replys, any other ideas?
Cheers
John
