Power Loss??

So an odd problem has started recently it seems like I have lost a ton of power, I had a dp chip and on the 1,2,3 files which are stock, 60 tow, and 80 econo I have like stock or less power, but on 4 and 5 120 race and, "smoke" it still has alot of kick but not as much, on the 80 it doesnt smoke much at all anymore where it used to when i would get on it, and it looks like im not gettin near the boost I used to, Its boostin like 20 max, and its getting hotter on the pyro too, which would lead me to believe that I had a boost leak but if that were the case wouldnt it be smoking a more because of the loss of air, I replaced the fule filter, cleaned the air filter, and it has a pretty new cps in it, the turbo is only a few months old so I dont think its bad but its never seemed to push nearly as much boost as the original turbo but i guess the different comp wheel could be causing that, so does anyone know of anything else I should be lookin to for a problem im kind at a loss of where to go next thanks

Check IC boots, all boots. Also, make sure that your boost fooler or whatever you have and all tubing to map sensor is good. After that, pull red WG line off wastegate and plug onto a IC hose clamp bolt and see what happens. After that, or before at your option, make sure your fuel pump is not getting tired.

Do you have fresh oil, and clean fuel filter?
