Could be overboosting.
if you have a boost controler turn down the boost.
If you dont check the waste gate actuator and the wastegate actuator solenoid.

It's probably down to your decat allowing the turbo to spin faster and hitting the fuel cut before the boost controller has time to open the wastegate.
Cheers. Mark.
