Hello,
Yesterday my APR tb was installed. It "feels" like I lost power

Is there something I can check? Please help me

I can't think of any reason unless something ridiculously stupid was done. Like not bolting the downpipe or leaving something stuck inside the exhaust.
But I have no idea, or ever heard of something like that.

You need to vag your car and check for codes. Whoever installed your exhaust could've installed your O2 sensors backwards.

Yes, and the car will be noticeably slower.

My vagcom didn't throw any codes, how can I check for an exhaust leak?

Crank the car, hold a rag over the exhaust tips. If you have any leaks, they'll get louder.
