Default Loss of power

I bought a 53plate Sti ppp a week ago and when I first drove it on v power it started to build up and whistle from 2.5-3000rpm and then from 3 went like a rocket,like being kicked up the **** end but I've used tesco momentum since and it doesn't give you the big kick up the **** as before,it still feels quite quick but not like before,it also feels like its kind of holding back between 80-100 as it takes a long time compared to before.
Is it a boost leak or maybe the fuel??
Not happy!😢
Cheers michael

Well had it on the rollers and a checkout,produced decent figures but running a bit lean and AF sensor not working.hoping once that's replaced it will go right again as it could be sometimes working and sometimes not but that's only my opinion as it definitely various from drive to drive
