Default Mk1 1.8 tdci power problem

Hi everyone,

First post here, I hope ye can help me
I have a problem with my 2003 focus tdci (115ps).

Basically it loses power at high rpm. In first gear it revs to redline no problem with plenty of power. In second gear it loses its power at about 4000 rpm, third gear at ~3200 rpm, and so on. It has perfect power to these rpm's, and then it can only slowly creep up to redline.

I can't find anything online that I haven't tried already.

Here are the things that I have done:

-Checked turbo shaft, no play
-Full service last week; air, oil, fuel filters done, oil change
-EGR blanked, made no difference except for quicker throttle response
-Cleaned MAF sensor
-Checked hoses, new silicone hoses put in last week
-Cleaned out air intake hoses and intercooler
-No warning lights ever come on

I really hope someone can help me with this problem, it's driving me nuts

Thanks!

Cian
