Yeh, Oeticker stuff is good, those clamps look a bit Frankenstein though...
The Murrays are the biz, honest! Strange this because today at Coney Farm I had cause to get one out'd truck to show AL, who immediately recognized it as...
Da Biz!
Most damage to flexhoses is done by overtight clips, Jubliz or otherwise, rather than age or good old Vear unt Tare !

I used to sell Oetiker years ago and thats how I know them. Pratt & Whitney used them then. The Murray ones are designed for use on turbo hose so they would be the natural choice

Ah! Pratt unt Whitney...
Starry, starry eyes...
Padd, get yourself a copy of
Fate is The Hunter, Ernest K. Gann
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate_Is_the_Hunter
Pretty sure you'll relate to it's main theme... and thus enjoy a really classic book (and as with all books, fact is always more incredible and exciting than fiction)

Now i might sound like a complete knob saying this
But i used to have a quattro turbo that had the same symptoms. Turbo would cut out at 3000rpm, but only with foot to floor(or there abouts) If just resting my foot on the acc pedal, it would go past 3000rpm and drive normally. From memory after several audi garages couldn't find it, took it to a specialist and it was a sensor fitted back to front on the intercooler

No but don't have an intercooler just pipe straight from turbo to inlet manifold

Have you tried physically locking the wastegate closed , for test/evaluation purposes ?
Inlet manifold gasket ?
