You probably have up-pipe leaks. If the up-pipes are leaking, you are loosing valuable power to spin the turbine wheel.

If you are running in a tune that is not meant for pulling, you are probably running to low of an RPM too, try downshifting.

You need rpm's to cool. You can also change out the exhaust side of the turbo to a 1.0 or 1.15 to help keep it cool.
