It could be a cat melt down as you was cruising at a steady light throttle, this when the mixture weakens off for fuel economy but the disadvantage of this is very high combustion temps and high nitroa oxide levels. so with weak mixture and hi temps i would bet the cats have melted. you did not by any chance observe you air/fuel ratio??

Not at tge time unfortunately but the afr is highly erratic at idle now. It's definitely blocked I think. Makes a farting noise when trying to pull away and also there is a lot of powder residue in the exhaust tip

Does sound like the cats collapsed mate, the is200 charged had the same type of problems on some cars, so most removed them? but hope its nothing too serious mate and your back on boost very very soon :thumbup1:

It starting to sound like a cat problem. I've never liked cats!

Down an exhaust shop now as I couldn't get the bolts undone with the car just on stands.
Had to bring a metal coat hanger tho as they won't fish out the cat for me - will only unbolt it!!
