Check all of the hoses from the turbo to the intake. Quite a few people this year have had the same complaint and found a hose completely free of it's connection - usually in the wheel arch area.

The section on the wiki provides a good approach - http://wikilec.9600.org/index.php/Boost_leak

When I had this problem - I lost all boost and it was a split in the hose connecting the throttle body to the pipe going down to the intercooler - need not be in the wheel arch.
