Yes , it still pulls just not nearly as hard .. I'm thinking it's belt slip , I replace belt & gained back ALOT of partial throttle power & wot power but still not back to where it originally was... Now I feel like it's getting a bit slower every day since the new belt... There is a lot of residue under the engine cover but could be from original belt

How is the belt tensioner does it have good tension in the belt or does it feel loose? Maybe look into that or maybe a belt wrap kit is another option? That is if the belt slipping is the problem.

Tension on the belt feels good that's why I'm confused...
It's still getting worse tho, now at partial throttle if I try & hit some boost , I have to push the pedal down to the point where it downshifts..
Bwk is on the way but I'm worried it won't fix my issue.

Do you have any way to log your intake temps?
Clean the underside of your engine cover so you can see how much "fresh" belt debris starts to accumulate.

Are you sure you don't have a frozen pulley somewhere? Have you taken your vehicle to a mechanic? Hard to diagnose and throw parts at a car that we can't see.

Last time I checked my iat's they were fine & my pump was working correctly, I'll check again when we get some dry weather.
I cleaned it off on Friday & I see a little bit or residue, idk how long till it will really start building up again.

Fuel filters clogged by chance?

Jeez I lost my train of thought after I hit edit, sorry. Anyway I meant fuel as in you aren't getting enough fuel from either a clogged filter or bad pumps. However the symptoms for that is a little more specific like jerking sometimes when the rpm is up or when you round a corner really fast and floor it
However I am really suspecting your belts since it pulls like normal when the rpm is low

It's slower at partial throttle too , gotta put the pedal down a little further to get boost.. But it drives fine for stop & go... Still reliable to drive
It's very noticeable at full throttle

I think you may be having torque limitation with the stock tcu tune
That is the only reason I got a tcu tune, to remove the torque limiters
