turbocharged RX-8 HELP !

Alright so before winter i purchased a 2004 Mazda Rx8 turbocharged, the car ran great for the first week or 2 minus the fact i got 180K per tank.

i noticed the car kept loosing power over a weeks time, then the blowoff valve noise got quieter and quieter, i need help guys MY REX IS SLOWER THEN A HONDA CIVIC RIGHT NOW !
i tried changing the coils and spark plugs that didn't help all that did was get rid of the engine light that was on !

apparently the car was tuned by Mazda Maniac ECU tune, the seller told me.

i dont know what to do i live in Richmond hill and i need to find a place that can help me fix my car, i dont know any places around that deal with turbocharged RX-8's!!!


the car engine mods are:
Engine
Greddy Turbo-Kit
Greddy E-01 Boost Control/Data Display Unit
Greddy Type-RS Blow-off-Valve
CobbTuning AccessPort
Mazsport 3-inch Cold-Air-Intake
Brand-New Vibrant 4-ply Silicon Couplers
McKinney Raceworks Oil-Catch Can

Pictures of the car can be seen here : http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/...0&id=501690977

stock greddy turbo? maybe it's toast. What was your airflow and psi before you started losing power and what is it now?
