I would advise you check those hosed, if replaced with blue ones to be sure you have the restrictor in place.

You may find there in no restrictor in Hose Number 2 and hence you are running very low boost and with the decat the ECU is struggling to control/understand whats going on.

You really need to get a boost gauge on their, even if only temporary to see what it's doing. Their easy to fit as you will have a spare port to plug onto just infront of the throttle assembly (i't scurrently capped off).
