yep sounds like overboost to me mate. Get the boost solenoid cleaned out and check all pipe connections.

How can it be overboost if it's before the turbo kicks in ?

More likely to be spark related I would have thought.

The coil packs on a 95 are not the best, I just replaced mine. Common to see the spark go out due to cracks on coil packs. Or could be that it has sat for 6 months and they are damp or the contact has tarnished. Either way worth a look to check their condition.
