Have you put new fuel in that happened to conincide with those "last few days". You just might have got unlucky with a stale batch, maybe? If you can wait to get it low again, then fill up with a your mapped fuel, then do an ECU reset... it may just clear the associated bad, retarded timing.

Costs nothing extra at this stage, so prob worth trying it...

Coil packs could well have boken down - the symptoms are certainly typical of weak/no spark i.e. holding back (lack of power obviously).

yep as above, check your coil packs... can you hear your boost solenoid ticking? or i know its a daft question but have you had your car remapped to suit your current mods
