Just remove the restrictor valve on the amal, pull it out completely.

sierra is running on 2 bar map sensor and manual boost controler, there is no air leaks
btw. problem are started after remaping ECU before that sierra was running with 280 PS on 1,5 bars without problems
and this remaped ECU works on another sierra without problems

Sounds like he is running his original MAP sensor and I think that the remapped ECU needs a 3bar MAP sensor.

Go and see what the other Sierra has for MAP sensor and take it from there. That's probably the cause.
