could be clucth slipping.if clutch is ok and it is lacking power then check all your vacuum pipes to swirl flaps,turbo wastegate and throttle housing,check all your intake pipes from intercooler to turbo are tight and they are not split,these engines also suffer with coked up intake manifolds and egr valve,if clogged up then remove and clean out
