I got to a 167 racing a motorcycle and a S3. Ever since then I can't go above 80 because I get a horrible knocking vibration through the car and steering wheel under acceleration. Indicates a CV joint has gone.

On topic, it must be boost related surely? or a fuel starvation?

Yes exactly that, is it as simple to do as the usa drls. Id prefer the fogs as drls as the indicators illuminated on stock halogens dont appeal to me
