If you haven't check the turbo yet? I would start there.
There's usually some sort of sound associated with those scenarios.
That's true most mechanical issue you have some sort of audible noise.

Often in your scenario. Check for codes, Verify connectivity to the critical sensor specially since your using a conversion harness. Even that I'd double check.

Most cracks are hairline cracks and dont usually stop anything from boosting. Crack manifold early signs are exhaust leak noise but still boost with no issue.

Good luck problem solving!
You'll be surprised most of this are actually electrical problems where the ECU is running on safe mode. This is why it's critical to check for CEL and verify what it's complaining about. Possible sensors that can do this is your MAF, CTS, KNOCK, GROUND, BAD Connection on ECU, BAD ECU and etc..
