try disconnecting the mass meter and see if it revs out ok also bring it for a spin and see if it drives better with it disconnected if it does air mass is gone, also at the inlet manifold under a black bracket there a boost controll vave there (grey in colour) have came across it before where it sticks  causing the same probs as your car
best of luck with it

ok.. next idea, and one that is often overlooked. take a look at the very thin vacuum hose that goes into the top of your diverter valve, it should be braided. check very carefully along it's length (make sure to follow it right to the end) for hard/brittle areas. it can be easy to miss since its a braided, but as it gets older, the heat from driving makes it very brittle and it cracks and leaks.
