Check to make sure that the engine control mondule connectors are pushed on tight and the large round connector's clamping bracket is turned tightly on.

I just found quite a bit of oil in the bottom of the turbo intercooler. I have unscrewed the nut holding the tube up and unclipped the connector to the bottom of the intercooler connector. Then I cleaned out the oil in the bottom of this plastic intercooler assy. I think the oil will restrict the air flow enough to shut off the turbo boost. I have not had any problems since.
