Need more info on when/what this lack of power is, what was done to car since when it had power, all speeds/gears, etc.

Hmm, yeah this could be a million things. Most common=boost leaks. Do a leakdown test. Also check ignition timing.

Help! It's broken, how do I fix it?
We need a ton more information.
Why is the car in the shop in the first place.
What kind of recent maintenance. What kind of spark plugs? What are they gapped at?
Is your timing good?
Do you have any boost leaks?
What is your boost set at?
What are your compression test numbers?
What do you mean by lack of power?

Did the lack of power start after you installed the BOV? Did you recirculate it?

Hmm... that should be enough questions to start with. Please help us by answering all that you can to the best of your knowledge.

Ask him if he has done a compression test on the new motor, then perform a boost leak test.
