sounds like it's either getting overboost or there's a fuel shortage at some point

I'd be checking the hose from the turbo compressor to boost solenoid and also the hose from the boost control solenoid to the actuator to rule out the easiest to check overboost scenario and starting from there.

Thanks guys I've already checked the hoses they are tight,could it be a faulty boost solenoid?I've changed knock sensor doesn't ping as much as it used to,I'm running 98oct and would those 2 codes contribute to making it ping?thanks,plus sorry I've found a vaccume hose that runs off the rear of injector rail/fuel reg it runs towards the ecu but is blocked off with a bolt does anyone kno where it is supposed to connect to?

if it's blocked off with a bolt it's likely the BOV is blocked, not the one that runs from the fuel regulator.

it could be a faulty solenoid. wouldn't hurt to replace it.

no worries... of course it's not guaranteed to solve your problem and could be a bunch of things causing it... so yeah, if it doesn't work out, paying a visit to a local tuner of these cars may be worth a go as they're good at solving these sorts of problems :)

You have excess carbon build up and its glowing red hot all the time causing the pinging throw some e10 in there and Just give it a Italian tune 😉
