Could it be the fuel is being cut at 5k rpm, because the boost pressure is getting too high?

I would go for the plug leads as it is comon in many cars & not overly expensive to fix (my mates supra was doing exactly the same).
Otherwise, could be a blockage in fuel rail causing lean mix in 1 pot under hard accel, very doubtfull although could turn out expensive.
