Hello,
How many holes did the old head gasket have, and how many did the new one have? Switching from 1 to 3 could cause a moderately noticeable effect.
"It's more likely to me that the modifications caused leaks in the vacuum system, which may now be affecting its performance. Please check the measurement blocks 8 and 11 to see how the boost pressure regulation is working in the relevant speed range, for example, with the full throttle setting between 1200 and 2500 rpm."

That's precisely why I wouldn't rule it out.
Is the VTG can installed correctly? Unfortunately, the holes have some play. Hopefully, the VTG rod hasn't been tampered with.
Best regards, Rainer.
