Flashing Glow Plug Light

I've been suffering from my car going into limp mode quite a lot recently after acceleration (2500rpm and above).

I've had a code reader on it when the light was still flashing but no codes show up.

I first suffered from this a few years ago but then it seemed to disappear for a long time.

The EGR was blanked initially but I've recently fitted a brand new Ford EGR on it plus removed the blanking plate without any difference.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Lol I really should read things properly!! In that case culprits could be,
Fuel filter
Dirty Maf sensor.
Turbo viens clogged
Turbo actuator faulty Euro 4 version
Split in egr hose
Fuel pump
Injectors
1st 4 are easy \ cheap fixes
Last are 2 expensive
The car is due a service so the fuel filter will be done then.

MAF sensor was cleaned a week ago.

Turbo veins / actuator - do you have any info on cleaning / replacing these?

EGR hose is new and silicone.

Just out of interest, I use the OBD Check Torque App on my phone with a bluetooth reader that plugs into the car. As I get no codes when I scan it when my fault occurs, would this app identify any faults?

I'm wondering if a more traditional code reader might be more suited.

The OBD app does pick up all the codes when I've blanked the EGR so I'm confident using it, but it seems odd that when the coil light comes on, I get no codes.
