be prepared with a new gasket if you remove the FPR cos the gaskets are not reusable, new o-ring won't hurt either

come on mate lets be real..... no I cant guarantee make a difference ...you don't have to clean the gauze but inspections are always nice ( piece of mind )
if your chasing a fault and you think its fuel related issues why stop at the fuel tank and filter ?
to be honest most diesel engines have some sort of gauze filter in place just located in other places due to the design of injection system .... this stops any inferior filter media from letting go and damaging high tolerance moving parts for example injectors ..injector pumps etc
when I removed my screen gauze I found black deposits of carbon and a small amount of material that is found in in a cloths dryer lint filter
the carbon was from my old combustion washers .... the lint material is unknown but I have suspicions it maybe filter media material
Injectors fuel pump

comparing one to another is very hard and to many factors involved ..... but least you have the opportunitie to rule a few things out
maybe swap some engine sensors as well as ecu/ waste gate /waste gate modulator with your friends engine ....... test purposes.... does then your friends engine lack of power
without knowing the history of the engine is also a guessing game

As this was not checked untill now maybe worth a try, the easyest is with tester to see if the brake switch's N/C contact is closed or eventually if you have cruise control this would not work if the contact is open but if it is the ECU reduces fuelling and without cruise control you can't figure that out unless you plug in a tester to check the switch inputs

have you installed a boost gauge ? and what is your boost readings
have you tried disconnected waste gate signal line to see if the engine goes into over boost?
are you also sure the waste gate is fully closing and seating correctly ?
