i get that every now and again (once every 2 months or so, cos its so infrequent been told not realy worth worrying about it cos you can garenty it will not do it when connected to dyno etc, was sugested it might just be the ecu picking up a slight bit of det and backing it off till it clears) if its doing it regularly might be a dodgy sensor, so wouldn't thraash it or let it boost till you get it checked out
