First freelander issues

Afternoon all got my self a poor man’s disco so I had the issue of going into limp mode or no, but no boost mode going flat when I first brought it so I’ve replaced the air filter and it seems to have stopped but now I don’t really have much power, and when I get to sort of 3 1/2 thousand rpm I get black smoke would replacing the vacuum lines and the turbo inlet be a good start or am I looking in the wrong locations? FYI, I’m mechanically minded to a point where I can turn a spanner and use a ratchet.
Freelander 1 td4 2002

All land rover owners are poor men, or a lot poorer than they would be if they did not have the land rover, for best results when asking a question if you put year and engine type then you will get more help quicker

I would run some diesel treatment through. You may have possibly a clogged egr valve. Is the black smoke all the time or just when you accelerate

Check all 4 rubber boost hoses for damage, holes or splits.

Also replace all the vacuum hoses, replace the little turbo filter, and clean out the inlet manifold of the accumulated goop.
