You really should look into getting some sort of logger. If you're knocking real bad, and pulling a bunch of timing, then that could be why you are losing all that power. Then you just need to figure out why.
Like Jet said, boost leak could be a big one. Also have you ever checked what your ignition timing is at?

Go do a boost leak test, and check ignition timing. Then report back.

ok well no boost leaks.. and timing is good.. but i did pull the intercooler and it had some oil in it so i swaped intercoolers. after checking a few things it had gotten alittle better but its still not gone.

What was the ignition timing at? Did you make sure and ground the timing plug when you checked it?
