Default turbo touble!

Hey guys i have a 1997 A4 1.8t with 83k miles i got the giac chip from awe tuning didnt have problems with the turbo until i put a carbonio cold air intake. it use to work on and off and found out the D/V was sticking so got a new one, and worked for a bit. Now it works but does not have as much pool any ideas?

Pull? Did you install the MAF in the right direction? Double check all the connections electrical (maf, n75, etc.) and hoses that were disconnected for the install.
