Ok, you have low power WITH smoke and ok injectors. (injectors are rarely a problem unless a dead miss is involved) Barring a mechanical problem such as dragging brakes, this indicates either retarded ignition timing or low turbo boost. At full load you should have 16-18 n intake manifold pressure. Check the plugs in the intake manifold to see if any have unscrewed. Pull the intake sleeve and inspect impeller in turbo. IF it is a AirResearch a little play is normal but the blades should not touch the housing. Check the timing as well and look for slippage at the mounting bolt holes on the old style pumps. Newer pumps have slots in the drive gear and three bolts to adjsut timing.
