replaced head gasket now low on power
This is the story I replaced the head gasket in my truck witch was not as bad as it looks got it all back togeather and now it dont have near the power it did befor. it takes a long time to build boost like it is low fuel pressure but i didnt mess with the fuel side other than changing the fuel filter and wire brushing the injectors it will get to 35 psi but it takes forever some of the stuff i have check is turbo piping and clamps cracked all the injector lines while running star wheel still forward a touch replaced the fuel filter again

Pull the foot out of the AFC to see if you get your fuel back. If it runs much better, then I would start looking at leaking diaphragm, kinked/leaky boost line, etc.
