Jeep grand cherokee 2.5 turbo diesel power loss

Hi I own a 1998 grand cherokee 2,5 diesel turbo that just suddenly started loosing power at 2000rpm. I can hear the turbo whistling up to 2000revs but then it just goes flat and theres no more power. Top speeds around 60 miles an hour at the moment although it does creep up when going down hill. Does anybody have any ideas what may be causing this problem. I have changed the fuel and air filters.
Thanks
Chris.

we dont have this car. here. i think.
so are you asking how to diagnose turbo issues, on fixya
that be like asking how to do brain surgery on , Mr, PHIL
the PCM may see the boost too low for load and RPM.
so, that can be lots of things, besides a bad turbo cant spool.
even a stuck open waste gate.
or controls issues,
best is to get a complex car serviced, by someone that can work complex turbo diesels,

if serious on DIY, why not buy the book on the car
the FSM
then see the turbo section and do the tests stated there.
if that sounds hard, it is,
