r51 pathfinder aventura 2007 limp mode problem

Hi
had my 2007 2.5 Aventura since 2008
113000 miles
had new clutch injectors flywheel at 35000miles
new egr valve at 100000
new cam chain at 105000

running a chip to increase torque for the last 50k
changed chip in last 2k
before chip I was getting 27mpg
I now get plus 35mpg better acceleration smoother running etc
car is very responsive and runs very well up to about 3200 rpm

recently when hard accelerating it smokes like a dirty diesel (no oil used )
and goes into limp mode if hard acceleration at about 3500rpm
switching off ignition and then restarting cures it

I can rev it over 3500 to over 4000 if I do it slowly
I have blocked off the egr valve now
running 300ml mineral two stroke in a full tank
new fuel filter fitted
new air filter fitted
ive tried this with and without the chip connected
bit of oil around the turbo area
any one got any clues what to try next
