Help: PSM+ABS failure then CEL after boosting

I know this has been covered here before but search is still not working.

Just took the turbo out for a little sunday drive and the first time i really hit the throttle the boost cut out very abruptly, around .8bar i guess. Then the psm and abs lights and warning "drive to a workshop". I decided to keep going, but then a mile later the check engine light comes on. All lights are still on after truning it off and on. Also, the car seems to be fine, I had 1.0bars afterwards.
BTW my stage 2 often hits 1.2 bar and even 1.3 bar once, is this normal?? Any help would be appreciated because I live in flagstaff and the porsche dealer and evoms are both a 2 hour drive away. Thx

It may not be your MAF, all three of my lights went off today, turns out it is because of a weak link in one of the hoses, yours maybe lose and not all the way off, mine completely blew out and after reconnecting the PSM and ABS light went off.

Could you give me an idea of where to look for a bad hose or connection. Common place?

I'm no expert but to check where my problem was you have to remove the rear wheels and pull back the plastic wheel well liner (You could also lift your car and check for under). I do remember other members having boast leak problems and had a test done on the entire system, I don't remember how they did this test (wish I did), I think Orli's test was very helpful and fixed his problems.
