Sounds like the cars putting itself into limp mode, especially as it says that turning the car off and on fixes it.
Where abouts are you located? Its best to run a diagnostic on it see what error codes come up?

Any dashboard lights? Probably just needs to clean the gunk out of everything these Derv engines are hella strong.

Sounds like limp mode mate but seem to be as your putting a higher load on the engine does it happen just driving normally changing gear at lower revs? Or dies it only happen when booting it?

Have you had the car scanned for fault codes?

You should run computer diagnostic on your car.

Find out the fault code then work through this faq bud, like said it's limp mode and it's fairly common, the ecu just shuts off the turbo because it's getting a dodgy reading from one of the sensors. It could be a sensor, vacuum line, sticky turbo vanes, knackered actuator, loose connection on any of the boost pipes etc. Nothing to worry about.
