I'm guessing plugged cat or exhaust.
You can test this w/ an Autozone($30) vac gauge tester/bleeder. Hook it up to the intake manifold, and conduct a series of tests according to the book that comes with it. It's an amazingly useful tool, not just for bleeding hydraulic lines!
..if the exhaust gasses can't leave the engine, they have to go somewhere
I had this happen to a 91 volvo turbo recently, that car ran like hell, and the prev. owner threw every part in the book at it(except exhaust)..multiple times! It was shooting oil from the dipstick tube all over the engine bay. We did a compression test, and it passed w/ flying colors.
good luck!
