you have lost turbo boost power...

Check the connection to the EGR valve at the top of the engine (big pipe), check the fabled o rings at the top of the intercooler, then check the pipe itself for holes...

also check the flexi metal pipe between the EGR and the exhaust manifold if you still have one...
