what boost was it set at mate ? If its lost boost 9 times out of 10 its a Boost leak check all your intercooler pipes also boost pipes from the turbo , Try and clean the cam senser this can also make you lost boost and power
The Boost solenoid contorls your boost cleaning it can help , But take it off the car 1st do it right , if all else fails take it back to who did the map might be a problem with the ecu
But please dont tell me your running 1.3,Bar tho mate
if so turn it down
I wouldnt run more then a 1.2,Bar but even then it should settle down to about 1,bar You will learn the hard way like me lol and have to deal with a big bill ........... But to be fair I only had the car 2weeks
the car was booked in to get the boost turned down on the 1st of feb 
but........ to late damage was already done I was told the car was running 1.4,Bar crazy its a classic wrx 2000 on a V plate 
On the up side Im now haven a full build with some treats from Api , down side the cost and haven no car

Sounds like OP needs to get in touch with whom ever mapped it and go from there.
