Turbo not working?????
 

I was pulling a trailer today up a hill, the EGTs did get a little high, and the turbo feels like it isn't working at all. It may sound like there is something like an exhaust leak or something (not sure). But the turbo psi will not get over 11 lbs up a hill, pulling a trailer even when I turned up the TST box. Basically feels like a truck with no turbo. Any thoughts on what the problem could be/is??? No code was thrown, I get a "Pdone" when I check it.

Check all your intercooler boots.<br>Sounds like one popped off, or is leaking. ;)

Also pull the intake hose at the front of the turbo and check to make sure the turbo wheel will spin easily and smoothly by hand, and check for sideways and end-to-end shaft play - if all checks out OK, you must certainly have a leak or obstruction in the intake system...

Thanks guys, you're right. It was a loose boot or should I say a loose clamp where the boot worked it's way loose. Test drive produced 38psi...back to it's good ole self...much better than the 6 psi a short while ago and the 11 psi on the interstate pulling a trailer uphill<br><br>Thanks again!!!
