This often happens with no codes at all.

Either meth injection to cool intake air temps, an IC sprayer, coding out whatever this possible failsafe is, or upgrading to a small single turbo that generates WAY less heat than the stock twins.
Last track day I noticed power loss too. I checked logs later and say 170f+ IATs. DME table is set to reduce timing pretty aggressively at that point. You will feel a several degree timing difference easily.

Post shift bog could also be some of the issue. If rpms rise while switching UP gears (you didn't lift all the way off the gas) then requested torque flat-lines post shift. A tuning solution is supposedly in the works for that specific shift bog. With a lightweight flywheel I find this happens very frequently/easily when I try to shift fast.
