Check your throttle body and IAC might be dirty. Check for boost leaks. For first steps.

So should i remove the throttle body or i can just take my intercooler piping off and look inside of it to see if its dirty or not? I was thinking to take it out and use crc Throttle Body & Air-Intake Cleaner but it says do not use on vehicles equipped with a turbocharger.
 
Well just take the elbow off and look inside. Then move the throttle and see how black it is. If its bad than yeah look into that. Do a boost leak test first easiest thing. Some times the throttle body seals leak. Havent looked a throttle body lately but you should be able to take the iac out to clean it. I use seafoam deep creep. Amazing stuff for cleaning the throttle body. Just use a old toothbrush to clean.
