Help no boost

So I had my cooling system flushed and thermostat replaced and now the car isn't boosting. It will rev all the way to redline if done slowly but once a tad bit of boost starts it just stalls out. Could something not been put back together correctly? What should i look for. Thanks for your help..

Check that your MAF is plugged in and do a boost leak test.

One of these two things IS your problem.

a intercooler pipe might have came loose. check your pipes and try tightening your clamps.

^^ This sounds like your problem. Expecially if the car runs a little rocky when not boosting..

I'd say your IC pipes as well, I've had similar problems on my GST when it's silicone coupler tore.
