Battery in the boot, its not the final solution, but it is legit enough to pass a vehicle safety test MOT and it has passed with this

since then i have started running logs on the car, looking at MAF readings, air intake temps, water temps etc and everything is looking good.
MAF readings suggest about mit 230's bhp but i cant push hard beyond 5000rpm as i have an issue where the engine almost hits a rev limiter and the turbo stutters.. I suspect it to be a bad N75 but a well known man in the uk (John Newman aka Rubjonny) had the same issue and it was resolved with new coilpacks..so i have odered 4 of those, new N75, new Spark Plugs and i hope this will cure the issue and get me a few more BHP by pushing to the red line.
Logging data below after i put it into PowerBI
