Hi 

have you recently had a new clutch ?

 

does this happen when car is warm or cold 

[Gazza1379]

no clutch hasn't been changed this year and it does it whether it's warm or cold

Sounds like maybe a seal has gone and there’s contamination 

or maybe clutch is on way out

Does it do it at light throttle or just half / full throttle on boost ?

Any mods induction kit , intake pipe , cat removal ect .

full throttle and the only mod is the prodrive kit

Is it like a violent jerking back and forth while not picking up much or any speed? Does it backfire like crazy at this point to?

Sounds like a misfire , maybe weak spark being blown out by the boost .

When was the last time it had a spark plug change ,

Whip the plugs out, see if there's any particular cylinder that seems blacker than the others to indicate a misfire. Also check the insluation on the coilpacks and "pigtail's"
