As the title suggests I'm having trouble. It's fine at low revs, actually drives perfect. But as soon as I wanna use the power the car throws me about. Like it hits the limiter HARD and then let's me go again for another second. Anyone have a diagnosis? Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like limp home mode. Disconnect the battery and press brake pedal a few times.
Reconnect battery in the morning and it should be fine

Keep your battery connected, get fault codes read possibly lambda
Change the Spark Plugs!
Yeah I know this sounds simple but mine was doing this last week - A solid rev limit at ~4.5K
I scanned it for codes and had none so it was back to basics - start looking. When I got into there the plugs were all loose (after only 25K) and the gaps were only a little big (as I'd expect at 25K). I only changed because they are a mare to get at and I didn't want to do it again later.
All fixed now - funny how routine maintenance can do that!
