Sounds like a coil packs breaking down maybe ?
Remove them and inspect also what plugs and gaps you using and how much boost ?

thanks have checked the coil packs look ok im not sure about the plugs need to try that next i bought a chip from a guy on ebay because before it was like hitting a brick wall at 5000 it was like fuel cut tried the new chip and now feels like the rev limiter is kicking in at 5000 . before i fitted the chipi had a problem with the idle if throttled hard and quick engine would almost cut out and would hunt up and down a few times before settling down the chip has helped but still stalls sometimes if i lift the throttle quickly but doesnt hunt anymore have checked the obvious like vacum pipes etc
