Red face Power loss

Hi, need a bit of help please!

I've got a MY05 STI UK with PPP to 333 by TSL (remap/exhaust) and running on Tesco 99 RON. For the last week when accelerating, at 3800 rpm there is a loss of power for about a second. It's ok if I'm on maximum boost or no boost at all, but if it's early stages of boost it's quite noticeable.

Any ideas what's causing it??

Cheers

Thanks Tez; how much did you have to pay to get a new one / fitted?

Very easy to fit, its just a connector block and three pipes, brand new the are something rediculous like £250. 2nd hand are about £40. Really int worth paying for fitting though cos its very easy.
