Forget all this version crap, no such thing as a version 7 anyway, it ended with version 6 in 2000, what you can give us is what year the car is and is it a UK or JDM model and are there any modifications to the car?

If JDM sti then it is probably taking huge amounts of timing out due to det if it is like any of the other jdm's I have seen.
Could be fuel pump too causing it to run lean - it has the feeling of strangling itself at that sort of revs.
Need checking.
Where are you based?

As it is a JDM it will be mapped for running on better fuel than we get so as said previously the ignition timing with be retarded to reduce det. GET IT MAPPED SOONEST, or you could cause engine damage. If you do get it re-mapped consider a few choice modifications such as exhaust, air filter replacement and uprated fuel pump prior to re-map.

My bets are on either bad plugs, coils or fuel pump on its way out. I wouldn't be driving it on boost until its sorted though or you will kill the engine and have a £2k bill on your hands..
