Default Need Help Not Boosting

ok heres the deal. i just got the car out of the shop yesterday. i had new turbo put on it. it was running great lastnite. this morning on the way to work there was a GT that was wanting to play so when he went to pass i downshift out of 5th in to 4th at around 60mph. the car was running strong all the way up to around 80 mph then i heard a loud gush of air and after that i cant build boost in any gear. i checked all the lines and the intercool pipes, nothing came loose. and i have no idea what it could be. maybe someone on here can help. thanks

Check your pipes again. Pull the joints apart and I bet one of the pipes is loose.
