2004 Vauxhall Vectra turbo switching off or is going into limp mode?

Car: Vauxhall Vectra
Year: 2004
Variant: 2LT DTI
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
When accelerating beyond 2500 revs turbo seems to stop working and car and spanner light comes on, on the dashboard. If the engine is turned off then on again the problem goes away until I accelerate hard again.
