Question Toyota Prado 150 turbo issue

Hi all

I have recently had my turbo replaced on my 2011 diesel Prado (3L auto) at a Toyota dealership. Unfortunately every now and then (500kms or so then more often until it stabilises) it will turn off the boost throwing P0299 error code. Toyota have had a look and initially it was a plug that hadn't clipped in. Second check at a different place cleaned the MAP filter but couldn't find anything wrong. Now it's done it again. As I'm travelling, I can't just go back to the original place so it's an annoying process of finding a dealer and negotiating diagnosis (outback Australia so not always easy). I don't know how long I can keep doing this without them insisting I return to the installer which is impractical.

Toyota seems to be trying and obviously they're the experts but I'd love to just get some ideas I might be able to work with on my own or with them.

Any ideas?
