If your fuel trim indicates a too lean condition then have you checked for air leaks in the intake system? Turbo engines are very sensitive to air leaks. This would be after the MAF. Look for broken or cracked air lines. Or listen for air leaks. Can be quite difficult to find. On an old car this is very common.
Search this forum for finding air intake leaks.

Ive been reading up on it non stop and it seems it could be a fuel issue too. Like an injector. I'm wondering if an old fuel filter could get this dirty and cause it? Im thinking a clogged filter wouldn't cause THIS much power loss though, pedal to the floor and all.

I've heard both sides regarding the fuel filter. If you do not know when it was last changed I would do it. Also, has the fuel pump ever been replaced?

I believe the fuel pump was replaced but I'm not 100% sure. Would testing fuel pressure at the rail determine if its a fuel issue or not?
