'99 9-3 chokes under hard acceleration

Hi - I have a '99 9-3 base with 140,000km, no mods. Recently, under hard acceleration (3500RPM in 3rd gear), I get a split-second choking from the engine or drivetrain. It's quite dramatic to lose power when you're accelerating that hard - someone in the back seat thought I had bumped the clutch momentarily.
My guesses - perhaps the fuel pump isn't up to the job and the engine is momentarily starved for fuel. More scary - maybe it's a turbo problem, since I think the turbo really gets spinning above 3500RPM. I suppose it could also be an ignition problem...
Any input/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
