boost leak or a bad ecu. my top 2 guesses. do a boost leak test and or pull the ecu and look for leaky capacitors.

Low compression. Shitty plugs and wires.

if it idles fine, i'd say boost leak for sure.

if it doesnt idle smooth, i'd still do a boost leak test and tighten everything up, but i'd say the problem is elsewhere then.

Not a for sure but when my car is in economy mode and i floor it it doesnt go over 3000. so that could be, not switching in and out of economy and power modes. like i said probably not right and i am probably making a fool of my self but its just a guess!!
