got any gauges on the '01?
any mod's..4" turbo back systems might a good place to start.
what boost level are you running?
EGT?
power mods?
trying too out run in 6th?

maf? or MAP or IAT? I'm not sure the 01's had a MAF. I know the '06 Liberties have a MAF, MAF - MASS AIR FLOW.

just some thoughts

No mass air flow sensor. What are the codes? As said what is the boost pressure?

Did you check the fuel pickup screen in fuel tank? Couldn't believe the difference when I changed mine. Was restricting fuel flow at WOT, normal driving around town worked fine.
