Lightbulb boost question/query

quick question for u guys .

when driving normally and then put my foot down the turbo starts to boost up but then it jerks and jolts and the engine light flashes on.

it only happens when i floor the accelerator and doesnt if i boost up gradually

is it overboosting or is there a problem with the solonoid ,apart from this id drives normally with no probs

any ideas??

cheers

Triggering overboost on my 99MY doesn't set a CEL, also I only get one cut, not a series...get the code checked!
