Question Sudden loss of power at roundabout

So, I have a 2007 ford focus zetec and recently installed a cold air intake. Testing the effect of the CAI, decided to drive my car hard. All good so far, 1 litre per 100km fuel saving!

However, I reached a big roundabout and went through it at 60 to 70km/h. After straightening up I pushed on the accelerator only to hear my car go into that max 60km/h mode. Turned the car off, turned it on and was even worst. Pulled over to the side again, popped the bonnet. Everything was fine, no warning codes. And then the car worked fine.

I googled it and heard about something called PSP which cuts power if your vehicle corners at a speed enough to cause loss of traction. Is this true? I have a model with ESC though.
