Boost leak repaired, read on!!
First i got to hand it out to Warrtalon.. His replies made the fix to my problem:
Problem:
WOT till 6,000rpm after which i get a sudden Whissssstle sound, and the boost would drop from 22psi to 15psi.. engine stalls as if it's pulling a trailer!
Reason:
I boost 22psi so i thought it's an obvious boost leak.. Turned out to be the air filter snorkle has its clips removed *just installed an air diverter and too lazy to put the clips back* So the vaccum makes the snorkle raise up and stick to the hood, thus blocking air coming in.. you guess the rest...
Fix:
Just clip the whole diverter botls, clip back the snorkle the right way, drive out at all gears.. cars pulls like ever!
What seemed to be a serious problem to trace was just a 'click' away! It could happen to you!

Thanks for this post, we noticed the same problem this weekend in phoenix. Just kept it under 5k rpm til we got home. I need to find some clips. Maybe its a good time to look into a new BOV and other odds and ends! Hopefully thisll fix the problem!
There are extra clips in your trunk. I even lost those and am using screws now. Not as tight as the clips, but still works.
