I can probably see the answer before I get any replies but here goes
I went to jap fest santa pod at the weekend and on the way back home driving gently I noticed the tone of my exhaust go very deep and not being able to pick up speed well in any gear , plus when I pulled over I had this to look at
Vehicle Car Motor vehicle Hood Automotive design
not bad hay
I managed to get home with a few stops to cool down
The noise from the exhaust nearly turned my brain to mush
Now today I've stripped the pipe work off and looked at the fan
Side to side I can move the shift about .5 of a mill and in and out maybe 1.5mm
What's the verdict

Is the washer missing from behind the lower pulley, this is the part that guides the belt. It may be on back to front also such that the curved lip was cutting into the belt.

I hope you haven’t done more damage as that engine was running full retard! Turbo bearings probably shot. Definitely get that oil changed too.

was it a custom map you had, or a generic flash? could be some fuel and air tables need adjusting. ive seen similar issues when people sell their ecu like a link etc and the person doesn't have it re mapped. not saying this is the case in your situation but it does happen believe it or not
