Before you take it apart give the boost control solenoid a clean out, and if you can, operate it off a battery to make sure it's working whilst cleaning.

It may of been experiencing detonation on the track and pulled the IAM (Ignition Advance Multiple) value. If this drops to around 1/2 it's max value it will cut boost. If you can force an ECU reset or disconnect the battery for a few hours, see if it's back to normal after.

If it is experiencing detonation (as above) it would be worth fitting a new MAF probe. The car could probably do with a fresh one before remapping anyway judging by the mileage the car's done.
