The symptoms you describe sound like potential turbo over boost, which will cause the engine to hesitate and miss fire before continuing . This will happen more under load and wide open throttle and may be the reason why the issue seems intermittent. As planenut said check your turbo control hoses for any splits or loose fittings , Also check the waste gate for operation as the have been known to seize .
