Boost 'struggle'??

I had a quick look to see if this has been asked before...and before i ask,

93 TT, 105,000km, 6spd, only mods worth mentioning that i know of.. is exhaust.

My question is: When i put the foot down in 2nd gear, i get a nice pull from the turbo from about 3800k upwards, but when i change to 3rd, it pulls a little, then makes a noise like its struggling? Instead of the nice boost that you'd expect, it just feels like shit to be honest. feels like its trying to boost but just can't.. It might boost for 1 sec or so, and then the power just turns off until i change gear...

I guess my question is, are you meant to get the same boost feeling in 3rd/4th gear as you do in 2nd? It does not feel or sound healthy. Drives perfect apart from this problem. Diagnostic is all clear. Cheers for any ideas!!
