The jury is still out the pros & cons of trany oil as a fix all, seems there are a lot more running sweetly with out it.I would be checking; #1 fuel quality. #2 fuel water trap filters. #3 fuel pump quantity & pressure.
#4 turbo impeller turning freely sounds like lack of boost. #5 dirty hull & prop or entanglement. Is transmission getting hot? possible problem there? Are you running a loaded Pto?
These will be the cheapest options before touching the Hp fuel pump & injectors Do easiest first. Cheers, Shakey."
