"""Sorry about the double post, forgot to put my name"""
First of all let me say thank you for all your help on this issue. There are actually two problems I described.
The first was related to the turbo, in this case, the over-pressure switch theory appears to make sense. The car would abruptly lose power when the turbo should have kicked in. All I needed to due was back off on the accelerator, and the car would operate without the boost. I drove the car for some time this way. I will investigate, as the Bentley manual descries a test for the switch.
The second more recent and debilitating problem which may or may not be related to the first is the car generally loses power when trying to climb a hills. I have not driven the car since this problem, as I actually live at the top of a hill, and would have a difficult time making it home. I am hoping it is a simple clogged fuel filter, which I intend to replace. I was hoping this was not something more serious related to the actual mechanical engine or transmission components.
Thanks all for the advice. I will keep you posted on my findings.
Mike
