R56 Power cut out and clicking?

Power cut out and clicking?
Driving to work this morning and for a brief, fleeting moment, power cut out and was accompanied by "clicking"? Driving in fourth I believe, WOT, at relatively low revs (3-4K).
I cannot tell if it was boost that cut out or power entirely.
Anyone have any idea as to what this could be, be a sign of or be reason to further investigate.
This has happened before but these episodes are far and few between. This was the first time I heard what I describe as the clicking while power was gone. Almost like the car was working to get power back to...something, I don't know.

Thats what I was thinking, or the throttle body adjusting to get more air from the loss air and its throttling on its own to gain back. I would post a video or sound clip, might be a sticky throttle body. Are you getting a CEL ?

No CEL or codes. As I have said this happened before under WOT. I cannot say with certainty, but I am almost positive the car did not stall and then roll-start again. An issue with the turbo sounds most likely. Maybe boost pressure cut out for a moment for whatever reason (misc. malfunction) and then resolved itself. I am not concerned, vehicle has been performing perfectly since then-under heavy downpour and sunny skies. Thanks everyone, everything should be fine.

Yeah I had my timing chain replaced and it stopped happening for a little... It happened the other day from 2nd gear - 5th gear (it only happens now very rarely). I added oil because it was a little below the half way mark on the dip stick and that seemed to help a little. I've done some reading and hear a lot about carbon build up in the intake. I might run some sea foam through it in hopes it coughs this stuff up and drives fine.
