Default Lacking power over 5000rpm

Could anyone tell me if I have a fault or if the running is right

My 96 jdm wrx sti 6s ecu is boosting but droppin off at 5000rpm

The power seems to be high and low and some points
Wondering if I have a turbo problem or hopefully something smaller lol

Cheers guys

Doesn't sound right imo but your best bet is to take it to a rolling road as internet diagnosis is quite hard in most problems,the rolling road should show up any problems.

Take each coilpack off very carefully and look for cracks in the end that goes on the plug do it carefully or you may actually damage them.

I have the v3 wrx sti so it's a coil pack bolted to intake rather than single ones
