Intercooler hose maybe?

Il try keep it short. 

Got the 2012 mk4.5 2.2 diesel it was struggling to do a regeneration as was only doing short runs. Also I was sure I was hearing the turbo give a louder whoosh or whistle than normal not bad but different to normal

Anyway long story short I had the dpf removed and flushed but on the way home I would get a flat spot between 2000/2500 revs, as soon as the turbo gives boost I get eml and limp mode. Turn car of and back on and the problem clears until the turbo gives boost. Grabbed the error code which give the turbo as under boosting.

My thoughts after much reading

The intercooler pipe has split maybe due to the dpf being blocked or causing the dpf to block up. However all the symptoms seem to match others minus the excessive smoke everyone else seems to report. No smoke what so ever. Could it still mean intercooler pipe or other turbo related pipe? 

If it is the intercooler hose is it an easy enough job or better in a workshop? 

Any advice much appreciated and thanks in advance 

Steve
