Check fuel and air. Clogged air filter? Leaking boost lines (including the intercooler)? Holed diaphram in either the AFC or wastegate actuator? Fuel filters? Fuel shutoff solenoid? Fuel return valve? If your outfit is over 100,000 miles and has a catalytic converter, check that. Heck, check the entire exhaust system for restrictions. Good luck.
