I don't have time for a lengthy resonse right now but take a look at the FAQ thread and check out the links to the boost and turbo troubleshooting links.

I recommend you look for a boost leak in the intake piping, bad check valve, or a loose vacuum hose.

What mods do you have?

Read these threads for help on the turbo system and troubleshooting boost issues (from the FAQ thread I previously linked you to):
