HelP!!! WhaT HapPeneD???
After a night of driving here and there, and not racing around, I decide to spool up the turbo a bit...and when i stepped on it in 2nd, the turbo started to spool up and then all of the sudden lost power!!!! Now, i have no idea what happened, it may be something that just happens!
Can someone please help me out!! Oh yea, and after it happened once i did it again and it happened again, and even the third time!!!
Many people have had their boost hoses pop off. Evo's boost around 19psi and can spike above that causing the hoses to just pop off or leak in your case. Just tighten the hose clamps and see if it that was the problem.

ok so i think i fixed it, one of the hoses was falling off!! (you were right) and i also checked all of the others and it seems to be fine, but now i only have a loss of power in 3rd at about 4500 rpm's! why is that, is it the same problem, or do i have a bigger problem??
You fixed the major leak, and probably still have some minor leaks. The minor leaks is probably what's causing the loss in power. You should probably have a mechanic check all the intercooler pipe connections for loose clamps and hoses. Or you can climb under your car, take off the undertray, and tighten all the lower ic pipe hoses.
