Default ls vtec turbo lose power in 4rth gear

my car is losing power when i shift to 4 gear but is for 1 second then
start to spin the tires again. It's like a instant drop of power, she is tuned and
nothing was touch. Maybe my intercooler is to small 28x7x2.5? The clutch is not sliping.

Same thing happend to me today
I had a clamp loose on the charge pipe
Would build boost fine and hold it
Drop when I shifted and then build slowly for a second and then fast again
Check all the clamps out

You always go for the map sensor being bad.... that's not always the problem so shut the **** up
