This is what I am trying to say. The car was tuned and obviously was making boost to put down almost 300 whp. So, at what point does the boost stop working and the car driving like shit? What is the wrong part that you were not advised about that was wrong if they hadn't yet diagnosed the problem? was the boost actually increasing with the manual boost controller or still only 3000 rpm and no boost on the dyno pulls? I;m just trying to figure out what caused the car to do that if it was making power and boost on the dyno. It sounds like maybe something throwing it into limp mode but it souncds like we will never know
