Loosing power. What's wrong?

I have an 05. It drives fine under normal cruising conditions but when i get into it it will builg boost up to 8 psi and then it will loose all power. it holds the 8 psi. And it builds the boost very quickly like normal. I dont think its a boost leak. could it be the MAF or a bad spark plug or coil pack? I have full exhaust, exhaust manifold, uicp, licp, intercooler, intake, and an aem truboost boost controller. Any ideas?

Are you tuned with your current mods? Have you done a boost leak test? I would check the basic s**t first.

It was brand new. If it was the MAF would it throw a CEL?

I had a similar problem, for me it was my intake, but if its not that it could also be your wastegate if its still the stock one
