might need higher rated plugs/leads or better fuel pump to cope with the power, used to now of a cossie killing uno went thru a set of plugs every week

what set up you running ?
have you tried turning down the boost does it happen at normal running or just full throttle

What Turbo you running ? Chip ? Fuel pump ? Are you running a FMIC, FSE, De cat, Air filter ?
Anything else ?
Also what boost are you running in psi ?

sounds like the worst thing possible on a turbo car.
engine meltdown:slayer:
basically the engine *might* (not saying it is pre detonation, but could be, my turbo volvo did it once, on a moutain pass at around 1800ft, just that little bit of altitude made it pre detonate like feck! had to drive really carefully back down again) not be getting enough fuel on boost (maybe your maps are all to pot, or you've got a faulty sensor somewhere) and there fore its soo lean and something else (forgot the other culprit) and heat aswell, the fuel is exploding too soon, so your engine internals aren't getting the fuelling they need to lube up properly, so chamber tempretures sky rocket and you get what sounds and feels like a misfire on boost.
you probably knew that, and can explain it better, but just to make sure your maps aren't all messed up, turn the boost right down to virtually factory and see if it does it then.
then start turning the boost up in 1psi increments, run the car (at least a mile or two) and see how far you can raise the boost before it starts happening agan
simple trial and error fix's most problems but takes the pee

1/4 in 14.9 is slow for that spec.
Could be one of the following.
Running to much boost
AFM
Coil pack
lamba sensor
What spark plugs are you running ?
Are you getting the injector light on at all.

AFM - Air Flow Meter.
You need to run a bigger fuel pump and fse to control the fuel pressure.
Also clean you ICV - Idle Contol Valve.
You want to try NGK BCPR7ET plugs.
Could be a number of things, i would try the fuel pump and fse if your only running standard pump.

have you had this rolling roaded at 205 bhp or is this just a guestimate ?
Yes you will want to run an fse.

TBH you cant take his word on it, i doubt its 205 bhp
I would of said its a GT2 on a P reg.
I wouldnt know local, i live in Newport there is Westec.
