The question is where it can lost its performance?

That's such a vague question. You need to list your mods, before or after some evident event, like environmental factors, part failures, or dyno readings. Please specify your question more. I understand your getting higher in mileage, but you can still make good power with high mileage. It will get less but scheduled maintenance on parts is a huge factor on efficiency of an engine.

Ok this engine is total stock.
No mods there.
I will try to upload here the dyno readings so you can see what are they look like

To specify my question more
We are running a hill climb races with this Evo (stock class)
I´ve been told that this engine needs to rebuild and it lost power simply because it is old.
I´m afraid to put more pressure on the turbo that I will blow the engine away.
On the other hand the rebuild is quite costly exercise.

If I will check the around parts for any leaks and see what we can do
will upload the image later today

That is one strange as hell power curve makes me think it has a boost leak or its pulling alot of timing near the 4.5k+ mark.

I will now look for boost leaks. I thing this might be the main reason at the moment.
new wastegate look around pipes etc and chack the compression ration as well

I want to sort it out ASAP
