Slightly different but since I first bought Fluffy, once in a blue, blue moon I would put my foot down in 3rd mostly if memory serves and find that the turbo basically didn't feel like it was even spooling up! Coming off the gas and/or changing gear would result in normal service being resumed.

Try tightening the actuator rod a turn or two and see if that makes any difference. Just need to remove the turbo heatshield to get at it. Easy job but ratchet spanners will make life easy.
