make sure the piece that directs air into the airbox has its fasteners in it. if not it will cause the problem your talking about

it could be that your coil pack went bad or simply just replace the spark plugs.. my bet is one of them..

How about doing a boost leak test? It takes about 10-15 minutes to do.
