hello eveyone

Have you checked for boost leaks?

I would also look for exhaust leaks. Mine ran like crap for a little, i just decided to change the exh mani, turbo, and o2 gaskets and got my power back (person before me installed a cheap metal gasket). Makse sure you nuts and bolts are tight as well, they tend to come lose with the heat and will leak.
