Doh......
Came off a round about sideways fullthrottle... got it straight and BOOM 
Very loud bang, and lost all power, engine died..... coasted to the side of the road (single carigeway) and put my hazzards on....
I had a suspision what it was, but it sounded quite severe from incar 
GOt out, investigated..... I'd blown the post FMIC to TB pipe off (ross, i blame you again)
Took about 20mins to fix as it was a right pain in the cooncil gritter to get at
Only happened at 0.8bar too :/
Thats every single turbo'd car i've done this on now!!!
