check your vaccuum lines / intercooler piping. make sure everything is connected properly and fastened.

with vaccuum lines, the easiest way to search for a leak is mix up water with a bit of soap. pour a bit onto your lines (while the car is running), and if you see a bubble, theres a leak, and replace the line.

or your waste gate sucks.
