It sounds like the turbocharger wastgate is seizing, or not opening freely. Have you checked the wastegate valve and actuator operation?

There could be a number of possible problems, including lack of oil supply to turbocharger; damaged turbocharger bearings; dirt/oil deposits caked on compressor wheel and/or diffuser vanes; fuel system defective or not properly adjusted; dirty air filter; and restricted exhaust or block cat.

Have you scanned the ECU? If so, what was the readout?
