What is your boost gauge telling you? That is, how far to the right does it go? Do you get to the red at all? If not, how far into the broken yellow area?
If it is not reaching the broken area, you may be stuck at base boost. Various issues here. Your BPC (Boost Pressure Control) unit may be defective. It's a small black unit at the top of the radiator driver's side, with 3 hoses coming out of it that head toward the turbo and a plug with some wires going into it. Do a search here on BPC and look for some diagnosis info. If you are short on bucks you can probably find a used one (new ar about $200 or so, IIRC). You may also be able to clean it and get it to work again. See the various posts on BPC.
Could also have a wastegate stuck open. Search on that, too.
Either could cause the lack of power you describe. Do your plugs and air filter (low cost and easy) just so you know they are OK.
Keep us posted.
