Hi all, just a bit of background before going into detail:

Prior to this issue occurring, I had just had some custom work done to my turbo setup. I switched out a chinese Turbo for a Garrett GT3076R due to some oil leak issues.

I've had an issue that has occurred 3 times so far. After the car has been sitting outdoors in hot weather for a few hours (we're talking about 35C+ air temp) the car will start up fine, but after about 1 minute of driving, the engine would cut out and lights would flash up on the dash. No error codes are detected via my OBD2 tool.

Once the cars come to a stop, I would start it up again and all 3 times I have driven it home fine (i'd be on the road for 45-60mins) without it happening again.

The first 2 times it happened my car had not been retuned since the turbo swap. I then had a road tune done a few weeks ago and it happened again just yesterday. I still intend to do a dyno tune in a few weeks time once I get my boost controller in.

But all 3 times, the car had been sitting outside in hot weather. Most of the time the car is garaged and I would never have this issue when starting up the car.

Any ideas or suggestions on what it could be?
