    I had that same problem with my girlfriends r33, turned out to be leaky cooler pipe and blow off valve. If you have a BOV that is venting to atmosphere just check that it isnt leaking when the turbo comes on boost or even block it off completely and go for a drive and see if it feels better, it wont hurt anything and you will tell straight away if that is the problem.

    I'd say double check timing (again). And make sure it's in diagnostics mode when setting timing (if stock computer).

    Also if stock computer check for error codes then fix and reset them. As mentioned it could be limp mode.

    Again if it's a stock computer you might have leaky capacitors. Unlikely that it'd pop it's head up like this when you've bene playing with something else, but possible.

    If it's showing good boost but not making power I'd be suspicous of timing, either ignition or cam.
