Engine will rev over 2000 rpm but its hard work, And minimal turbo kick on display ..

It's not in limp home mode yet though and actually drives fine, just with no acceleration.

I'm thinking split turbo hose, which would reduce airflow over maf and cause the reving issues. Is this likely to be correct and if so are any temporary bodges available as I'm currently 200 miles from home.

air intake hose check as well. duck tape?

my 900S old model had an intermittent lack of power at higher RPM, turned out that when the air intake hose inflated, there was a split that knackered getting any additional air supplied.

I’d suggest split hose too but check after the intercooler up to the inlet manifold. If the hoses are fine with no splits or lose clamps then change the fuel filter if not changed in the last two years.

might sound daft but is the pedal movement restricted. I had a  stone stuck behind mine and it restricted revving
