boost issues and engine cutting out?

Hi all :)

looking for some advise on the following issues

1. I recently did the N249 bypass and at first had no issues but now am noticing the lovely whitsle from the boost whining up get flattening out/dropping off during acceleration - i assumed boost leak but nothing wrong with the pipes i put on the car? and cant see any splits anywhere else???

any advice welcome

2. if i park up and have my ignition on for a while sometime when i start her up the revs go up to 2000 and when they come down to settle they keep falling and it cuts the engine off - if i rev it - it stays idleing as normal??

3. It smells like my car may be running a bit rich? the only mods i have done are induction kit and N249 bypass

As above any advice would be appreciated
:help:

i would be rechecking all your pipes are secure to manifold and anything you have done to the bypasses

When i say whinning - its the normal sound you get hear before the dump valve - so i believe the sound is normal?

but before the boost kept building until it was dumped now the now fluctuates - so im assuming the boost is also fluctuating therefore losing me speed???
