Along with the possible hose tear, I'd look at a possible hose collapse.  
Sound very similar to an issue I had.  I had a Ford truck lower rad hose as 
my low pressure side turbo hose.  (say what you will it cost $14!)  After a 
year or so the internal  spring that helps guard against collapse had 
shifted and on booost, the low pressure side was collapsing on itself and 
cuasing almost Identical symptoms to yours.  Car would build regular boost 
in 1-2gears, as spool up was very quick, but in higher gears where spool up 
takes a bit longer, it would bog as collapsed hose choked off flow.
