Its a WRX mate
Running a STI top mount
Ecutec map
Afterburner vortex exhaust
Samco inlet
Turbosmart supersonic blow off valve
centre silencer removed - Still has 2 cats
The car isn not over boosting it should hold 1 bar as it was before.
Its really ****ing me off.

check the small turbo hoses for splits/damage, clean the solenoid, and if it's lying around fit the std. DV...... worth a try.

Sounds like a boost solenoid problem / split pipe to me 
Did you swap the OEM 2 port for a 3 port before mapping ??
Have you recently topped up the oil ?

Did the problem start after the service, pipe could be loose or too much oil has clogged the boost solenoid.
The reason I ask about the solenoid is that I've got an almost new (and known to work) bugeye 2 port solenoid. If you have problems cleaning your's I'll try and find it and send it to swap and see if it makes a difference.
I wonder if a sticking actuator arm could also be the culprit. unlikely to be the MAF as the Bugeye MAF pretty tough,
