Its because of the "basuka" tube

I think your gonna need to post a little more info on what the actual problem is... rather than you just have low boost. Low boost can be caused by:

a leak in the intake
bad timing
stuck throttle plate
faulty spark advance knock control
bad ACV
air filter clogged
bad waste gate
bad AFM
defective boost sensor
low compression
plugged/clogged cats

and countless oher issues.

jimmyv13 had this same problem, he went through countless tests, replacing things. took him a couple months but he finnaly found out what it was. He had a leak in the line that went to the boost guage. Not very big. but just enough where it would rocket to 5 psi and just stop and stay there. take a look at that, couldnt hurt
