Low boost & low power issue

Hey guys im new to the forum here and have an issue with my 6.0. I was running the extreme street tune from IDP for the past 2 years now and recently purchased the xtreme X tune from IDP. I loaded in the tune and had low boost, low power and horrible acceleration. Max boost i would see is about 10psi and it would take about a solid minute to reach highway speed when merging on the highway. I went back to the stock factory tune and have the same issue. No boost leaks from the boots or pipes and no check engine light. Any ideas as to whats going on? Im pulling my hair out over this.

Welcome Ray Coincidence maybe or when you loaded the new tune? Check the MAP hose and inspect the nipple on the manifold, run something through the nipple so you know it is clear. Been under the hood right before this happened?

MAP is on the passenger side, follow the hose down to the manifold.

Welp popped my hood and what do i see, an unplugged MAP hose and not only that. The nipple off the actual MAP sensor cracked off and it stuck inside the hose. I pick up the new sensor tomorrow
