I've had some experience with these loosing power. Solutions I've found so far are:
1. Air mass meter
2. Boost pressure sensor
3. Blocked cat
4. Cracked turbine housing

Theres probably a few other problems I can't think of right now

EDIT: Looks like you diagnosed it yourself anyway

9 times out of 10 take out the air flow sensor by the air filter, clean it and all will be fine. it does tend to come back every now and again though.
