If the turbo was installed at the dealership, why not go back and have the mechanic that installed the turbo do a follow up check? Didn't they road test the car?

Did you pull the airbox and check the hose connections to the boost control solenoid? Also check the reference hose that is on the compressor housing discharge nipple, and the hose that hooks up to the nipple on the MAF tube, as well as the tightness of the hoses on the diverter valve and the wastegate actuator.
