Say hello to the dreaded boost cut! It's emissions related nonsense. Basically, if you're driving off boost then floor it in 2nd, this replicates the conditions of the emmissons test. To get the Scooby through they had to program the ECU to retard boost (by just under half IIRC ) in such conditions. There are ways to drive around it. If you're accelerating through the gears such that you're on boost in second after you change out of first gear, it won't happen. If you lift off slightly and then accelerate, it shouldn't happen and if you've been holding it on boost in second, its unlikely to happen. AFAIK it only happens when you've been driving off boost in second and then floor it.
Best wishes,
