You'll have to investigate if the problem is with the intake/injectors or with the exhaust. Plugged catalytic converters or a bad EGR can result in bogged performance. I'd start with checking for any OBD codes, then clean throttle body, MAP, sensors, checking injectors and fuel pressure, O2 sensors, PCV, EGR, and cats. Sometimes plugged cats can make it appear the EGR is bad.
