car bogs big time at 4500rpms..(need help)

i was drivin on the highway and realize i cannot redline my car at approx 4500rpms...this happens in every gear and it feels like the fuel cuts off and the car hesitates and just starts to jerk...so i cannot exceed 4500 rpms and it feels as if the boost is dropping...

any rotary experts in here that can help describe what can possibly be wrong with my car, any help would be great...thanks in advance.

my car seems rather slow when i hit it, i jus had a oil change and flushed the radiator and the car seems to be running a lot smoother..first gear i can go up to 6k (i havent redline'd) second gear i can hit 5500rpms now and it jerks afterwards and the rest of the gears its boggin at 5k and jus jerks and slows down as if ther is no power...

the car is stock aside from blitz intakes, bov, 3" downpipe, everything else is stock and its running 10lbs... im not sure what it could be..im assuming its either fuel related or turbo related (fuel filter needs to be changed) and turbos have 130k on them so i know there going out as well..

and all hoses have been replaced with silicone...
