Thanks V57 . I am anxious to try your suggestions . The boat has been on the hard for two months

. Hopefully it will be back in its slip in the nest week or so , so I can start checking . To your knowledge (you seem to have a lot) is there anything they could have disconnected or broke while removing & installing the new air filter ?

There's nothing they could have broken if only replacing the air filter. It literally just sits in a metal sleeve in front of the turbo air intake. Once you pull the filter out and look in there you'll see what I mean.

Yeah ! Problem found and fixed ! The hose between the turbo and the manifold somehow just slightly slipped off on one side . Clamps were not tight enough . This caused the turbo to have no boost effect . Slid id back up , tightened hose clamps and problem solved ! Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions .

Gotta love it when the solution is so simple not to mention inexpensive. If you can, post a picture of the hose/clamp in question. Thanks for posting.

Hard to see but the red hose should be down over the white collar .
