I would rerun the codes to see if any new codes come up, also I have seen engine coolant temperature sensors cause strange problems like this as well. Here is the location if you want to try and swap it out. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.

No new codes. Afaik the coolant temperature sensor is fine. Haven't had any issues with that or any odd temperature readings.

Quick update that could provide additional clues as to what may be going on. When I'm on a rough road with a lot of bumps, or a dirt road, I get occasional misfires. The engine runs noticeably rougher. As soon as I get on a smooth road it stops. Am I correct in thinking it might still be the throttle body? In my mind the butterfly valve is just bring shaken and is causing random misfires.

It does sound like you have a loose connection at a ground or power cable. I would clean the battery cables and check the ground connection at the engine block. Also, can we run the codes one more time to see if any are stored?

Okay, so I just got back from being out of town. I found a loose butt splice on the signal wire for my MAP sensor. I got that secured and replaced with a new one, and that solved the misfire over bumps issue. I ended up needing a new battery as well, so that's replaced and the terminals on that are all good. No engine codes pending or present. However, I do still have the loss of power at around 5k-6k RPM. I'm at a loss of what it might be still.

I have seen worn out MAF sensors cause low power problems and not trigger a check engine light or throw a code. Have you tried a new one?

Yes, I've tried a new MAF sensor and have cleaned the one I have now with MAF sensor cleaner. On your advice, I went ahead and replaced both coolant temperature sensors and that didn't help either.

So, to be clear the engine has less power in the upper RPMs, correct? The turbo is new and there are no codes?
