Three things: Bad APC-valve, corroded contacts to APC-valve, bad wastegate. You shouldn't drive it like this. The car probably starts pinging under heavy boost, but APC cannot correct this. In the end, overboost protection kicks in and cuts fuel supply. Fix it soon or you will need new pistons and/or head.
