Thumbs up s2 escort boost help

hi everyone im all new to this ..just bought rs turbo as a little project / summer car the engine apparently has been rebuilt and run in the bodyworks ok but paint job and his prep work are rubbish but nevermind. the help im needing is that in gears 4th and 5th when pulling hard it seems as if the ecu cuts out the boost now does this mean the actuator rod is too short?? also does anyone have knowledge of places to get the car set up ie tuned in north east .. help would be appreciated thanks jay.

Sounds like an air leak somewhere...
Make sure all the boost hose clips are nice and tight, and i mean real tight, check em all.. under load they swell and if theres a big air leak it can do that.
