weres the boost pipe

Under the bonnet; thick black pipe on your left hand side as you look at the car. Follow that down to the intercooler.  The others are from the intercooler back towards the turbo and youll need to get the car up in the air to check those

Could be clogged inlet if you haven't blanked your egr valve off or your turbo vain sticking, recently had similar prob,
I cleaned my inlet manifold and exhaust turbo and the difference it has made surprised me tbh, the vain moved fine on mine before but it kept sticking, now it feels like a new car.

Hope you get it sorted
