Get the code read and post the results... Not much to go on without the codes. The shoot from the hip would be a turbo problem (stuck closed). Get the codes!

Even if it is running poorly, Autozone told me they don't check for codes unless there is a CEL

Being an 03 I would shoot for the ICP sensor, have fun changing that one because it located under and behind the turbo.
