Hey.
If I have driven very hard and the engine is very hot i got problems with loss of HP. when i step on it. The pressure is 0.9 bar and I have dismantlet the hose from the actuator to the vsv Fuel-cut)and closed it with a bolt. I don´t have the shield over the turbo either could it be hot air = hp loss?
Any ideas?

they have a boost cut on them if within the ecu, if it gets too hot it will ristrict the boost to about 6 - 8 psi rather then the std 10psi....

If the boost doesn't change, but you're feeling a loss of power, it could be the knock sensor pulling things back.
0.9bar is not factory boost is it? It's pretty high if it is!
Are you using the standard intercooler?

Hey.
No it´s not standard, the standard boost is 0.65bar and yes I am using the standard watercooled intercooler.
Knocksensor? would it not do it also when cold? (or not so hot)

Because when the engine is hot, there's more chance of detonation occurring, which means the knock sensor will step in and pull everything back.

okay here is the trickey one, if I loosen the throttle a bit in a minut or so and then give it full throttle there is nothing wrong with it but then it suddenly appears again if I have gone fast for a time.?
(Sorry for my bad english)

That'd prolly mean that your engine is getting hot...
Do you have an a/a intercooler or w/a? If it's w/a, your pump might have stopped working so your intercooler has turned into an interwarmer...
