Pass throttling to lighthouse

We continuously run lighthouse and monitor many web pages on our site via a Private Instance.

I see that the Performance scores through our private instance have recently improved dramatically to 91, however if I run the test through webpagetest.org I see a performance score of 55.

When I run the lighthouse test through the node CLI on my development machine with no throttling I also see scores of 91.
I am able to add throttling to my development machine via --throttling-method=devtools and I see the score lower to 44.
How can I add throttling to my Private instance? I see no way to pass throttling to WPT for lighthouse.

Runtime settings on development CLI with throttling:
Device: Emulated Nexus 5X
Network throttling: 562.5 ms HTTP RTT, 1,474.6 Kbps down, 675 Kbps up (DevTools)
CPU throttling: 4x slowdown (DevTools)
