Start with the easy ones first such as the turbo and waste gate. Remove air box and clean
turbo impeller; i use brake kleen spray solvent then check w-gate arm for movement and clean. Given the symptons it seems the turbo might be a bit slow spooling up.

Have seen this many times and reconditioning will give you better atomizing instead of pooling that occurs with worn injectors. It is doubtful that the injector timing is out unless the injector pump has been tampered with."
