Power Loss

I have lost power & have increased EGT's. Where I normally would have about 400 to 500 degrees at normal driving, I am now running 600 almost instantaneously to 1000 quickly. This is all with my comp set on level 2. It has never done this before. I have never been user friendly to my Turbo. I have 250K pretty tough miles on my truck. Does the loss of power & high egt's sound like a turbo issue. Also when I go to level 3 or higher, or tow at all, my truck kinda skips & misses. It just jerks & all. I t is hard to pinpoint what is causing it. I knbow when towing, I can turn the Edge off & it quits. Can you guys help me out with any of this mess? I am considering trying one of the AIRWORKS turbos. Does anyone have any experience with this turbo? Thanks a million!!

How is power and EGT's, not towing, with Edge Comp off? Based on your towing experience, doesn't it sound like a mafunctioning box?
"I know when towing, I can turn the edge off and it quits" "It" being the problem quits?

I'd try tightening up all of the intercooler clamps. For the skipping and shuddering, send the box back to edge and have them reflash it.

I have lost some boost, probably 5 lbs or so. When I really get on it at level 5, I hear a shrilling sound that I think is coming from the turbo. I have another problem that I discovered today. I couldn't tell if I was leaking fuel or transmission fluid, just saw red substance on the ground. Now, I will let yall figure out why I wasn't sure which it was. Anyway I found the tranny lines leaking where they were laying on a crossmember right next to the front driver's side of the oil pan. It looks like there should be some kind of bracket there to hold them in place. I am ordering 2 new lines, though only one is leaking. Both have been rubbed. How difficult are these to change out At the intercooler? Thanks.
