Default K20a2 Lose of power after vtec

Alright so this problem has been aggravating the Sh*T out of me and I have done almost everything to solve it. Ill try to explain this the best I can. Pretty much it makes power up until vtec and then stops making power after that. Trouble shot a little bit of the electrical side of the Vtec system and all is good. The solenoid gets a signal and if you jump the wires you can hear the solenoid working. Driving around you can hear vtec kick in and feel a bit of a kick but after that it wont pull for sh*t. I have a feeling that its not getting enough oil pressure to engage correctly. (yes the oil level is good).

The turbo oil feed is coming from a filter sandwich. Which I had to remove the oil cooler for it to work. The car was previously supercharged and ran like a beast. made 321 WHP. After I turboed it I noticed it wasn't making power it should be. Went to the dyno and it showed a lose of power after vtec. Besides removing the JRSC and slapping the turbo on i haven't done anything else to the motor except replace the oil cooler with a filter sandwich. Could that cause vtec not to work right? Thanks
