The exhaust sizing and continuous mismatch will cause some of the power loss you're speaking of. You seem a big down on power despite this.

Answer these questions:

How big is the charge pipe, exactly? Measure it pls kthx.

Does the manifold have hairline cracks? It could be leaking under power which will attenuate power.

Where does the turbo spool up/make it's first psi of boost?

even if its a 50 trim its low on power, but you have a lot of restrictions, small charge piping, dinky 2.25" exhaust, ss auto mani. the CTR exhaust cam doesnt help nearly as much as a CTR intake cam.

with a few changes here and there im sure u could pick up a bit more power.

like shodan said though there are so many combinations of t3/t04 that its tough to give you accurate advice.
