Cant keep boost! Loss of power!

I need your help folks.

Truck started acting really weird on the way home from camping.
It idles good but as soon as i build 10 - 12 pounds ost, i loose it all and loose all power.

It'll go fine up to 10-12 pounds then it instantly looses all boost. The injectors start rattleing then a couple seconds later it tries to build again up to 10, then looses it all again.

Could this be bad fuel filter? It ran fine up to the camp site but then again i didnt notice anything wrong till i got about 10 miles out of the site and on to the highway.

I just installed an air dog system and i can hear it running.

I dunno, wierd that it looses then builds then loses again.

HELP!

That was my first hope for an answer as to what might be wrong. No codes show up. In fact, this is the first time EVER this truck hasnt flashed a code. I ususlly have a low boost, high boost code or something.

This time, all i get it "done"

I checked all boost boots in and out. All seem tight. I thought those could be it too but i dnt see how it could make boost to a point, then lose it all and then rebuild. If one had a hole or was loose, i think it would constantly have a hard time building boost.
