    Might be a bad turbo. More likely the tube going into the egr got clogged up. Which is also a good indicator your EGR is clogged and may need a clean.

    I would begin with engine managment cleaning and EGR cooler flush. Boost sensor is very common to get soot blocked and I agree can be a likely cause of low power. All sensors and tubes should be inspected and cleaned regularly. The higher the idle time and lighter the loads, the more frequent the cleanings will be needed.
