common fault on that engine is with inlet manifold,swirl flaps and egr valve getting coked up,in which case you need to remove and clean the above components,other things to check are the vacuum pipes that run to the swirl flaps,throttle housing and wastegate,make sure the pipes are chafed or broken,check all turbo and intercooler pipes are secure,also check injector seals are`nt leaking,see what fault codes are stored
