Turbos tends to slow down over time due to carbonized oil that forms on the bearings. Depending on whether it's a ball bearing turbo or a journal bearing turbo, that also will impact how fast it accelerates. I have seen some turbos not spin at all when idling. I'm curious to see whether this improves your boost situation. Typically even IF a turbo is tight at ambient temp, they will loosen up when hot exhaust gases and oil flow through the turbo. If this doesn't improve your boost situation, I would look at the following -
1. Boost leaks
2. Differences in your props - is one biting more than the other?
3. Gauge differences (I forget if you swapped them?). Can you reference from a different part of the engine to compare?
4. Restrictions in your HX'er/tube bundle
