Boost fluctuation

OK my truck has 178k miles under load or acceleration the boost will fluctuate between 20 and 35 psi very quickly. There are no signs of leaks anywhere. Could a restricted catalytic converter cause this issue also the egts are just a little warmer than before

Sounds more like a wastegate issue on your turbo.

Sorry, no I don't. Hopefully, someone else will chime in.

It would help, though, if you would fill in your signature info by clicking on "User CP" up in that grey bar above. From there, in the left collum, click "Edit Signature". In the "Edit Signature" box, let folks know what you have, year/model/trans, ect, and that will show up every time you post. That way, people know what engine you are asking about.

Good Luck,
