Some things to try as you clearly have a boost problem. I assume when you had the airbox to turbo hose off you check the turbo for play and there was little or none.
1. remove and inspect both CAC hoses for cracks, holes, soggy with oil. Replace with Samcos if needed.
2. check boost pressure solenoid - see

Underneath the vacuum actuator on the turbo is rod extending downward connected to the vane mechanism. If you pull off the vacuum line at the turbo, the arm should drop about 1/2 inch and then raise back up after reconnecting the vacuum line. It is a bit difficult to see the rod, but this is the easiest method to check for proper VGT vane moevment." There are several approaches to freeing the vanes up if need be.
4. you probably should use some engine degreaser to remove that oil on the driver's side and see if you can determine its source. There are several spots (intake elbow, both ends of the pipe from the elbow to the EGR, etc) that could be leaking oil and if leaking oil I suspect they could be bleeding off turbo boost resulting in at least part of your power issue.
