Check for error codes? Cheeck your fuel pressure?

What you got for fueling mods if any?

Wastegate stuck? (What kind of boost pressure do you see?)

Dirty Filters, Fuel Problem, leaking manifold (excessive noise and soot under-hood as well), leaking intercooler or tubes, wastegate stuck open a little

What are your EGT's like? If they are low,most likely its a fuel problem, if they are high, most likely its an air problem.

That one way to look at it...

Also do you have a lot of black somke? (Boost problem) Or not? (fuel Problem)
