Default advice needed

my erst runs fine if i dont give it any sh*t, but when i do it boosts up really well and then after the dump valve has gone off and the boost has dropped bakc down it runs really lumpy like ti is running on 3 cylinders and after a while it picks back up

any ideas would be good cheeRS

i'm not a turbo expert but heres my guesses

1. sticky dumpvalve causing an air leak once activated and then freeing off a bit
2. leaky boost pipe
3. week boost pipe collapsing
