Is it a stock turbo or aftermarket? Is your current tune adding fuel+timing, or just fuel? Do you have a boost gauge on it?

33x1250x20 it has rail pressure on tune with additinal timing people have told me it could be the wastegate but idk if you hold the brake and boost it up its very slow going but if your rolling at a good speed it will run great its a stock turbo could it be that its not getting enough fuel i just dont understand it with what i have done to it i figured it would run amazing in any situation i havent installed gauges

Put your tm at 3 or 4 on the smarty thats where the off the line power is
