Default Pulsating at idle low power

Hi guys I seriously need some help with this please.
My 2001 s60 2.0t when the engine is cold drives normally but as soon as the nidlle its the middle I loose power and with full throttle the car accelerates slowly almost like there's no boost and I can hear like an exhaust leak sound? At idle I get a vibration like a pulse coming from the engine but only at idle if I give it a little throttle it goes away.

I already cleaned the throttle body, new spark plugs, checked for leaks there are no errors on the Ecu it's driving me mad.

Please help me

I'm assuming that you have the 2.4L turbo even though it sales 2.0.

The two soft turbo hoses get old and leak on this vintage of Volvo. There is one at the turbo outlet and another before the intercooler.

The noise you hear is probably pressurized air leaking out of the system.

Here's the parts that I'm talking about:
