Sounds like "limp home" mode.

Is the MAS plugged in? Any check engine codes? Have you performed a boost leak test? Has the ECU been capped yet?
 

I mod maf to a gm. Don't know how to check the boost. And ecu I was told was fine

I had the same problem in a previous mitsu of mine. It would buck back and forth if I tried to go over 3k rpms. It wouldn't do it if I had the mas unplugged though. Turned out to be a bad ECU. I would start there if I were you.
